my bogofilter story :)

[Eric Persson]

I've been reading the list since I installed bogofilter about 10 days 
ago and I'm amazed by the high technical level of the discussions, 
unfortunateley I dont have much to contribute to this.

But I feel I must express my happiness with bogofilter so far. Compared 
to SpamAssassin(which I never gt working fully) it was quite easy to 
install and understand. Yeah, sure I got good help from David Relson and 
a few others but when I figured out the users and other stuff I felt I 
could do what I wanted.

I now have 3 special maildirfolders, _SPAM, _NONSPAM and _ASSUMEDSPAM, 
the _ASSUMEDSPAM is the mail that bogofilter think is spam, and the 
other two is for feeding spam/non-spam to bogofilter for training.  I 
have a scripts that monitors this folders and take the appropriate 
actions depending on the folder.

So far I havent had to much wrong classifications, some automated 
mailings where considered spam but thats understandable.
I had an old folder with about 3000 spammessages which I used for the 
training and a few other boxes as normal mail.

Well... I must say it works REALLY good. Running this on qmail with 
Maildirboxes if its of interest. :)

Have a great week and keep up the good work everyone who is 
participating to this nice project!
