goes like this: procmail starts out suid root/ gid mail (whatever can
access the spools and perform locks), but when running recipes it resets
privs to the owner of the current recipe.

7^) jason rennie is one o' dem .ai.mit.edu guys. ifile reads a message
and counts the words. when told which categorie the message should go, it
updates the following data for each incoming message: for each word, which
categorie had it how many times. it also counts the number of documents
that went into a specific categorie. when the next document arrives and
you query the database, it again makes a frequency table and matches it
with the data accumulated so far. it can then output a table of scores
ranging from the best matching categorie down to the worst match. it's fun
to play with. i've got a spam folder, but i don't keep many samples there.
many a times have i been amused by the scores perfectly "normal" files get
and when ifile considers putting them into =spam... which doesn't happen
all that often: people talk about 85% accuracy, which i can't comment on:
i trained ifile for two weeks now and if i query it, it never gets it
wrong. the database contains around 160 words per categorie, and with the
reduced vocab peops use - especially dem computer kinks - ifile can do a
decent job. there's [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] . he
even answers his mail.
