It can detect junk mail lists you are subscribed to, which spamassasin can often treat as legit mailing lists. But mozilla can’t detect most of the spam which spamassasin does.

Hence you need to use both, and keep spamassasin uptodate. And if you’re filtering for spam on the server – you may as well filter for virii.

Admittedly, it only works with pop3 accounts as John has not written the imap interace yet, but it is a WONDERFUL naive bayes spam filter, and is working extremely well at this point.

popfile.sourceforge.net

I’ve been using it for many months but only just started using the spam filtering ability in the last two weeks. Out of 110 spam emails in that time, (Which is a low number to some) only 2 have gotten through. Those were quickly taken care of by right clicking and selecting block sender’s domain.
