Just so you know...

WHM/cPanel servers are configured with Exim and Spamassasin. On these servers, the default is such that HAM (non spam) does not report the following attributes in the X-Spam-Status header.

required=_REQD_ tests=_TESTSSCORES(,)_ autolearn=_AUTOLEARN_

All you get in the headers is the following:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.6
X-Spam-Score: -25
X-Spam-Bar: --
X-Spam-Flag: NO

So any mail that is hosted on a WHM/cPanel server, will not have the details for Spamness to see anything and thus won't work.

I have configured my server to show the information in X-Spam-Report just to see if Spamness would work, but unfortunately, I cannot get Spamness to see any header other than x-spam-status. (and yes, I'm clicking Index folders button).

Every time I go back into the add-on preferences, it is set back to x-spam-status instead of x-spam-report.

I would like to use this add-on, but unfortunately, it doesn't work....and I would be that a majority of mail users out there that are using Thunderbird are using WHM/cPanel hosted mail.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.3).  This user has a previous review of this add-on.

Thanks for the report.

"I have configured my server to show the information in X-Spam-Report just to see if Spamness would work, but unfortunately, I cannot get Spamness to see any header other than x-spam-status. (and yes, I'm clicking Index folders button)."

That's a known bug, but it's partly because of the way Thunderbird deals with custom headers. It's a global preference, but any extension can absolutely set the value. I've tried to adjust for that, but it was with a buggy implementation in 0.3. It's been fixed in an unreleased version I keep meaning to push out. Hopefully you'll see it soon, and then you can evaluate whether it fits your needs.
