Mozilla to use Bayesian spam filtering

[Mark Lanett]

It seems to me that the problems of incorrect spam and ham handling require
user-agent integration. Having multiple email addresses (or my approach:
special IMAP mailboxes) is too clumsy for widespread use. I downloaded
Mozilla today but, as usual, deleted it after 5 minutes of getting pissed
off at it, so I didn't see how the spam integration works, but it is moving
in the right direction.

In addition, statistical adaptive filtering can be used to do multiple
mailbox sorting automatically, rather than relying on hand-written procmail
and similar scripts. Again, you probably need user-agent integration.
Bogofilter might be better separated into a library which provides the
learning and analysis code, but leaving the actual knowledge of two
databases in the posix tool front end. A multiple mailbox sorter would have
one database per mailbox and different selection logic (in this scenario,
spam is just another mailbox and if the tool doesn't come up with a clear
answer, the Inbox is the best default).
