[Techtalk] spamassassin

[Meredydd Luff]

Marydd - oh *man*, I _HAVE_ to add that one to my collection of weird and 
wonderful ways of spelling my name ;^)

The link I gave earlier on was this:

http://kmail.kde.org/tools.html

Right at the bottom of that page is a step-by-step guide to putting SA into 
the Kmail filter chain.

Hope that helps,
Meredydd
