Blog/Evolution-and-SpamBayes-please-shake-hands

Before i started using SSL on my POP3 and IMAP connections i used the POP3 proxy of the SpamBayes project to filter spam from ham. I was very happy with this solution, but then SSL happened, and Evolution promised to incorporate SpamAssassin support.

I never got to be really happy with the SpamAssassin training support, or lack thereof, i don't think it filtered anything using its trained filters to be blunt.

So for a long time i have been planning to add the necessary glue code to make Evolution and SpamBayes work together, well i finally found the time to do it, it is published in the etch distribution of my DebianRepository - i really hope someone will take it for a spin and report bugs back to me.

There is also a list of open issues that i would like to have fixed, please leave your comments on them.

Murray Cummings has incorporated my Glom relationship dialog code into Glom, although it is not turned on by default yet, there is a new release of GooCanvas available that i need to synchronize with first, hopefully there will be time for this tomorrow evening (today went with writing the aforementioned Evolution plugin).

I am also getting the feeling that i could learn from wrapping the GooCanvas library in some nice C++ classes, as i understand it the gtkmm guys (among them, Murray Cummings) have some wrapper generating code specially for wrapping Gtk-like libraries.

I've used Swig at work before, and have my er2code project as well, so wrapper generating tools interests me.

A project exists already. I just updated it to make it build against the latest goocanvas code, but someone needs to add the new API. It'd be great if you tried that: https://gna.org/projects/libgoocanvasmm

Oh, and there's a good chance we can give you write access to the libgoocanvasmm repository if you need it.
