Hi David

I'm using it on FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE, compiled from source in 
non-transaction mode (but I intend to change that). The only problem I'm 
having, which appeared after the upgrade to 0.94, is that running 
bogfilter for training (users send their mails to a global spam@ and 
ham@ address) no longer works when using popen() but is fine from the 
command line. I'm assuming it's my fault and am currently working on it.

Other than that, it works fine for me - so many thanks for all the 
effort you and others have put into this. By setting my spam threshold 
to 0.75 (with a reasonable well trained database - most of my mail is 
from lists) I only see the odd spam get through. Disable bogofilter and 
I get a couple of hundred per day. If there are any false positives then 
nobody has yet complained about being unable to reach me.

We initially tried to use bogofilter on a domain (actually, many 
domains) wide basis but this didn't work. Now, anyone who wants spam 
filtering gets their own db and a generic spam at hostdomain.com address 
for training. So long as they send the spam mail as an attachment, the 
recipient program figures out who originally got the spam and passes the 
attached message to bogofilter for training. Works great. The MTA is 
qmail with delivery via .qmail files. If a user wants to, spam tagged 
mails can be deleted at the server.
