Brand new to SpamSieve, which is doing exactly what it should. However…
My SpamSieve folder is a local folder on my Mac (This all within Apple Mail). My ISP (HostPapa) runs SpamAssasin and the only control I have is to turn it on or off and set a threshold level (now set at 3, which is quite severe). When SpamSieve is NOT running, SpamAssasin catches some spam, but not nearly enough. The SpamAssasin hits get put in the Junk folder on the server (I can see them). When I turn-on SpamSieve, there appears to be no more spam caught by the server-side SpamAssasin, i.e. the server-side Junk folder gets no more spam emails. I was expecting that the server-side SpamAssasin would keep going, and SpamSieve would pick-up where it left off…
Does this make any sense? It is as though SpamSieve on my Mac is taking priority but I can’t understand how it is doing that. Is there any control within SpamSieve I have missed, that configures how this works? I would like the server-side SpamAssasin to keep doing its thing, in the hope it gets better and at least mitigates spam on my phones and tablets.
Thanks for any thoughts or comments…
