Stefan,
Let me explain the change in '-u'. Recently I took a look at the scores
of messages that were being registered when '-u' was in use. Over 90%
of them were "obvious" ham or spam, i.e. ham with scores < 0.01 or spam
with scores > 0.99. Since the messages were so easily categorized, it
seems that there's little value in using them for training. Introducing
a config file option "thresh_update=0.01" and a corresponding command
line option "-u 0.01" seemed the obvious way of dealing with this.
Cutting the number of wordlist updates has the dual benefits of making
bogofilter faster and slowing the growth of the database. I thought it
a worthwhile addition :-)
Cheers!
David
