Description Filipe Maia 2007-08-09 11:18:50 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7KDE 1.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable PackagesDebian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Currently when spam filters are setup the spam filter backends are called with the default priority. This means that if users receive a substantial ammount of email their computer can become close to unusable while the computer is processing email. 
I suggest that instead of calling the spam filter backends directly the call should be nice -n XX spam-backend, where XX is a suitable high number , because there is no good reason to impose such high priority on the spam filter, and the lower priority can really help the usability of the rest of the system.

Does the whole system become unresponsive or only KMail?

Anyway, you can do this yourself in the filters configuration.

The whole system becomes unresponsive.
I've already fixed it myself in my system, it was just a suggestion for a nicer default

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
