hi all, ok, i just apt-got bogofilter. pretty shocking how little documentation came with the package. googling turned up a bogofilter FAQ which seems pretty good.
so now i have 4 methods to start a database; method 1 (full training) seems like the easiest. so i separated my mail between good mail and spam. i plan on doing bogofilter -s < spam.mbox bogofilter -n < nonspam.mbox i'm still a bit unsure what to do after this initial training. the FAQ mentions that there are two things i can do: 1. update bogofilter's wordlists with every incoming message, using the -u option. if i understand it, -u will first classify the spam, then update bogofilter's wordlist. that seems like asking for trouble. if you filter to /dev/null based on bogofilter's output, how do you correct mistakes? and it seems like mistakes here will cause more mistakes in the future. i assume you do this with: :0fw | bogofilter -f -p -u -l -e -v also, shouldn't there be a "c" in the procmail colon line? how does mail get past this recipe? isn't it considered "delivered" when an email matches a recipe unless you use ":0c"? 2. train on error only. this seems better to me. which training method do people use? if anybody wants to write a little about how they go about using bogofilter on a day by day basis, i'd appreciate some guidance. the number of options available seem pretty staggering. pete -- GPG Instructions: http://www.dirac.org/linux/gpg GPG Fingerprint: B9F1 6CF3 47C4 7CD8 D33E 70A9 A3B9 1945 67EA 951D _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
