"Trust junk mail headers set by SpamAssassin" does not work

[runokiab]

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

"Trust junk mail headers set by: SpamAssassin" does not work with 1.5.0.12-0ubuntu0.7.04. Mails containing "X-Spam-Flag: YES" are neither marked as Junk nor moved to the folder set in "Junk Mail Controls" (normally the "Junk" folder).

The file responsible for the filtering is /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/defaults/messenger/SpamAssassin.sfd. This file isn't different from the file used in Thunderbird 2.0.0.4.
However, a custom "Message Filter" for Local Folders with the same condition works:

version="8"
logging="yes"
name="X-Spam-Flag"
enabled="yes"
type="1"
action="JunkScore"
actionValue="100"
action="Move to folder"
actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Trash"
condition="OR (\"X-Spam-Flag\",begins with,YES)"

There is a similar bug report for Thunderbird 2.0 at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381589

I can choose between
  SpamAssasin
  SpamAssassin
  SpamPal
in Seamonkey 1.1

Question: I can choose "SpamAssasin" in Seamonkey(german (at).
Has this to do with this bug here?
And will this seamonkey bug get fixed with your fix here in seamonkey, too?

Thank you for your answer.

Not really, no; replied in m.d.a.seamonkey instead.

Updating summary and severity as is seems this was causing bug 381589.

This very safe little patch should go on branch too, as it seems to fix bug 381589.

Oh, crap. Yes, this is a good branch-safe workaround for the broken-by-design way am-junk handles the default value.

Not blocking, but we'll look at the patch.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. According to an upstream bug report, this appears to be fixed. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

confirmed due to upstream bug report being found.

[runokiab (launchpad-5-baikonur)]

Since I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 now, which comes with Thunderbird 2.0.0.12 this is not a problem anymore for me.

[Joel Goguen (jgoguen)]

Changing this to Fix Released since the fix is in the repositories for Jaunty. This appears to have been fixed for Thunderbird 2.0.0.12.
