But he had some changes that he wanted to commit soon. > bogofilter seems to provide substantially the same functionality, is > actively maintained, and is already packaged in Debian. > Do we really want bmf? Well, I would prefer to use bmf, even it's the package from sourceforge. First it's just 32K size compared to 880K that bogofilter needs. Also so far bmf worked fine, except for a very tiny amount of spam in the last days that I had to reclassify. But all other spam was caught correctly. And since I prefer small utiltiy for any task, I'm prefer to stick to bmf. And last but not least, I'm not much in favour of using software written by Eric S. Raymond. But I'm aware that this isn't a good argument to keep that bugreport open. Christian -- Debian Developer (http://www.debian.org) 1024D/B7CEC7E8 44BD 1F9E A997 3BE2 A44F 96A4 1C98 EEF3 B7CE C7E8
