[kde-linux] kmail doesn't filter spam with spamassassin

OK i think i found the problem :
When i run :
spamc <spam
where spam is a spam file, it issues an output that contains the spam flags.
(X-Spam-Status: Yes , X-Spam-Flag: Yes, ....)
So i have these 2 filters in kmail, following the numerous tutorials on the
internet :
- 1st one is applying /usr/bin/spamc on every mail < 250kB with 'Pipe Through'
filter action
- 2nd one is detecting the presence of X-Spam-Flag: YES in a message
The kmail documentation
(http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdepim/kmail/filters.html#filter-action)
says :
----------------------------------------------
Pipe Through
This will feed the message to a program: if the program returns output, the
entire message (including the headers) will be replaced with this output; if
the program does not return output or exits with a return code other than 0
(indicating an error occurred), the message will not change. Specify the full
path to the program....
----------------------------------------------
And when i send myself a spam message that is said to be a spam when using
command line, it ends stupidly in my inbox instead of the spam folder. If i
type 'v' to have its full source, it appears no X-Spam flags or other spam
flags. Nothing.
My deduction is : kmail is not doing what it should do since there should be
spam flags in the message headers triggered by the 'Pipe Through' filter
action.
So there must be a bug in kmail 1.7.1, or there must be something i did wrong.
