Hello All, I've written a statistical spam filter for Evolution. It works by analyzing the e-mail that you consider spam and eventually learning to automatically filter it into a special folder. Because it doesn't use a set of "rigid" rules, it should theoretically adapt dynamically, without requiring any future reinstall or updates. The filter has been running on my system for a couple of weeks now and it filters almost all the spam that I get. It takes a very conservative approach to filtering, preferring not to filter a spam than to discard a good message, and even then only about one spam message every 200 gets through on my end, and the performance is getting better thanks to the fact that the system is learning. Given that it seems to work on my end, I'm looking for a few volunteers to beta test it. Essentially, I would ask you to install it and let your e-mail be filtered by it. Throughout the process, I would ask your comments on its functionality. There is, undeniably, a small risk that the filter will wreck havoc in your mailbox. It hasn't on mine, but I can't exclude it. Also, depending on how you install the filter, it might take a while for it to be perfectly finetuned to your e-mail traffic (less than a week, depending on the amount of messages you receive). Because I'll be distributing binaries only, I need someone who is using Linux. The filter makes use of labels, so you should not be using those either. Please drop me a message if you're interested.
