[Evolution] No spam filter in Evolution even though both spamassassin and bogofilter are installed

[bavramor]

Hi,

and I can’t find the typical packages from other Linux distributions like evolution-bogofilter and evolution-spamassasine. Both packages are installed as such. But I can’t select either of them under Evolution.
Is there another way to set up spam filters for Evolution under NixOS?

Thx

evolution-spamassasine

I believe other distros split evolution-bogofilter and evolution-spamassassin evolution modules outside evolution. I checked the output of the evolution package and it does have those modules installed, but maybe they depend on the actual spamassassin and bogofilter in some impure way making it not work.

Yeah, those modules actually have hardcoded FHS paths:

• src/modules/bogofilter/evolution-bogofilter.c · 002fb26df9f019940493f46d6fcd4357acb5d6da · GNOME / evolution · GitLab
• src/modules/spamassassin/evolution-spamassassin.c · 002fb26df9f019940493f46d6fcd4357acb5d6da · GNOME / evolution · GitLab

We might want to patch them.
