Hi - in junk.c on the heirloom branch of s-nail is some interesting code to
do both the two-token Bayes spam classification via the
chained-junk-tokens option (as well as the usual single token), as
documented in mailx.1 there. (Distributed as mailx in CentOS7.)

The main thing I'm wondering is whether there is any command to purge
the junkdb in some way. I could not find anything about this, either in
the code or the doc, but I know I could easily be overlooking something.
Otherwise, growing without bound does not seem good ...

The other thing I'm wondering is why this code is apparently moribund?
Seems it hasn't been touched for ~10 years.
https://sourceforge.net/p/s-nail/code/ci/heirloom/tree/
I couldn't find anywhere (e.g., someone on github) that the code had
been taken up and currently maintained, although it's not the easiest
thing to search for.

The s-nail master branch has plugins to allow using "outside" spam
filters, the usual spamassassin and bogofilter being mentioned, but
these do not support multiple-token Bayes as far as I know. In fact, I
do not know of any practical system (as opposed to academic examples or
defunct code, namely dspam) that supports multiple-token Bayes. If there
is anything out there, I'd love to know.

Thanks for any information, and all your work. 
--best, karl (karl at freefriends dot org).
