Bogofilter Description

Bogofilter is a mail filter that classifies mail as spam or ham. Bogofilter is a Bayesian spam filter. In its normal mode of operation, it takes an email message or other text on standard input, does a statistical check against lists of `good` and `bad` words, and returns a status code indicating whether or not the message is spam.Bogofilter is designed with fast algorithms, uses the Berkeley DB for fast startup and lookups, coded directly in C, and tuned for speed, so it can be used for production by sites that process a lot of mail.Bogofilter is run by an MDA script to classify an incoming message as spam or ham (using wordlists stored by BerkeleyDB). Bogofilter provides processing for plain text and html.Bogofilter supports multi-part mime message with decoding of base64, quoted-printable, and uuencoded text and ignores attachments, such as images.Bogofilter is written in C. Supported platforms: Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, OS X, HP-UX, AIX, RISC OS, SunOS, OS/2 Requirements:· Berkeley DB3+What's New in This Release:2008-04-30 * Updated sendmail milter contrib/bogofilter-milter.pl to v1.45 (thanks to Jonathan Kamens) 2008-04-28 * Added maildir training info to English and French FAQs. Thanks to Karl Schmidt and to Mouss. 2008-04-26 * Fix uninitialized variable in lexer.c when unicode is disabled. Patch provided by Roman Trunov. 2008-04-20 * In process_arg functions use the val parameter rather than optarg. Patch provided by Roman Trunov. 2008-04-18 * Function process_arg now has the same prototype for bogofilter, bogolexer, bogoutil, and bogotune. The proper version is called by function read_config_file for all programs. Problem reported by Roman Trunov. 2008-04-17 * Update Doxyfile for doxygen v1.5.5 2008-04-16 * Fixed syntax errors in t.valgrind test 2008-03-21 * bf_compact now supports compacting databases that use QDBM, Tokyo Cabinet or SQLite3 and is covered by the test suite. 2008-03-19 * bf_compact now verifies databases before dumping them, to avoid getting into an unterminated loop and wasting all diskspace. * Bogoupgrade now verifies databases before dumping them, to avoid getting into an unterminated loop and burning all memory or disk space when the database is corrupt. This should fix Debian Bug#226643 and Debian Bug#226646. * Bogoupgrade now uses Pod::Usage to print usage/help, prints error messages that are a bit more concise and validates arguments a bit stricter. 2008-02-08 * Bump required sqlite version to 3.5.4, earlier versions could sometimes corrupt the database. Update install-staticdblibs.sh. Bogofilter will complain when used with older versions. 2008-01-05 * bf_compact problem fixed. Reported by Thomas Novin.
