Thomas,

Thanks for the info.  I'll pursue this when I get home.

If I understand Alexander's reply this morning, I must do something with
Evolution.  Probably turn off Junk mail filtering so that it does not
run the email through spamd twice.  The next question is what happens to
mail marked as spam when evolution processes it, do I have to make a
custom filter?
