Bogofilter is something that we can't recommend to all users. Most people are not smart enough to use such filtering systems. When I talk to people about anti-spam measures most people who report using Bayesian systems tell me that they "train" the filter with all mail listed as spam!!! This indicates a total lack of understanding of how the Bayesian systems work. If it accidentally classifies a legit message as spam the last thing you want is to train the filter on that legit message and have it learn to stop other legit mail! Gray-listing is something that's difficult to screw up. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
