This is my first experience with spam filtering, so freely admit that I don't
know what I'm doing.
Someone on the the KDE list, as I'd asked about Kmail and spam filtering,
suggested Bogofilter, so here I am.
I have installed Bogofilter from the 1.0.2 tarball, which has installed it
in /usr/local/bin . It's also put the example config file in /etc , and I
havn't messed with that, as a guy who wrote a tutorial said he'd left the
config file as it was, and had Bogofilter working ok. I created a
directory, .bogofilter in my home directory, and 2 new directories in Kmail,
named, Spam, and NotSpam, and have been adding emails to both of them.
Now I'm trying to train it. As user, I'm cd'ing to Mail/Spam/cur, and then
running, bogofilter -sv, which creates a 8KB wordlist.db in .bogofilter. On
the Konsole nothing happens, no verbose output, no return to the command
prompt after about 30mins, and I have to quit the shell from the session
menu. Running the following, shows whats in .bogofilter/wordlist.db.
[djmons at localhost djmons]$ bogoutil -w ~/.bogofilter .MSG_COUNT
spam good
.MSG_COUNT 0 0
[djmons at localhost djmons]$ bogoutil -d ~/.bogofilter/wordlist.db
.MSG_COUNT 0 0 20060724
[djmons at localhost djmons]$
Kmails email directories are in the maildir format.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Nigel.
