109 "Blacklist MSG with SpamAssassin.
110
111 SpamAssassin is one of the more popular spam filtering programs.
112 Get it from your local distribution or from
113 http://spamassassin.org/.
114
115 To use SpamAssassin, add the following recipes to
116 \".procmailrc\":
117
118 # Append to $PATH the location of mhparam in some distros.
119 PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/mh
120
121 MAILDIR=$HOME/`mhparam Path`
122
123 # Fight spam with SpamAssassin.
124 :0fw
125 | spamc
126
127 # Anything with a spam level of 10 or more is junked immediately.
128 :0:
129 * ^X-Spam-Level: ..........
130 /dev/null
131
132 :0:
133 * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
134 spam/.
135
136 If you don't use \"spamc\", use \"spamassassin -P -a\".
137
138 Note that one of the recipes above throws away messages with a
139 score greater than or equal to 10. Here's how you can determine a
140 value that works best for you.
141
142 First, run \"spamassassin -t\" on every mail message in your
143 archive and use Gnumeric to verify that the average plus the
144 standard deviation of good mail is under 5, the SpamAssassin
145 default for \"spam\".
146
147 Using Gnumeric, sort the messages by score and view the messages
148 with the highest score. Determine the score which encompasses all
149 of your interesting messages and add a couple of points to be
150 conservative. Add that many dots to the \"X-Spam-Level:\" header
151 field above to send messages with that score down the drain.
152
153 In the example above, messages with a score of 5-9 are set aside
154 in the \"+spam\" folder for later review. The major weakness of
155 rules-based filters is a plethora of false positives so it is
156 worthwhile to check.
157
158 If SpamAssassin classifies a message incorrectly, or is unsure,
159 you can use the MH-E commands \\[mh-junk-blacklist] and
160 \\[mh-junk-whitelist].
161
162 The command \\[mh-junk-blacklist] adds a \"blacklist_from\" entry
163 to \"~/spamassassin/user_prefs\", deletes the message, and sends
164 the message to the Razor, so that others might not see this spam.
165 If the \"sa-learn\" command is available, the message is also
166 recategorized as spam.
167
168 The command \\[mh-junk-whitelist] adds a \"whitelist_from\" rule
169 to the \"~/.spamassassin/user_prefs\" file. If the \"sa-learn\"
170 command is available, the message is also recategorized as ham.
171
172 Over time, you'll observe that the same host or domain occurs
173 repeatedly in the \"blacklist_from\" entries, so you might think
174 that you could avoid future spam by blacklisting all mail from a
175 particular domain. The utility function
176 `mh-spamassassin-identify-spammers' helps you do precisely that.
177 This function displays a frequency count of the hosts and domains
178 in the \"blacklist_from\" entries from the last blank line in
179 \"~/.spamassassin/user_prefs\" to the end of the file. This
180 information can be used so that you can replace multiple
181 \"blacklist_from\" entries with a single wildcard entry such as:
182
183 blacklist_from *@*amazingoffersdirect2u.com
184
185 In versions of SpamAssassin (2.50 and on) that support a Bayesian
186 classifier, \\[mh-junk-blacklist] uses the program \"sa-learn\"
187 to recategorize the message as spam. Neither MH-E, nor
188 SpamAssassin, rebuilds the database after adding words, so you
189 will need to run \"sa-learn --rebuild\" periodically. This can be
190 done by adding the following to your crontab:
191
192 0 * * * * sa-learn --rebuild > /dev/null 2>&1"

337 Bogofilter is a Bayesian spam filtering program. Get it from your

339
340 Bogofilter is taught by running:
341
342 bogofilter -n < good-message
343
344 on every good message, and
345
346 bogofilter -s < spam-message
347
348 on every spam message. This is called a full training; three other
349 training methods are described in the FAQ that is distributed with
350 bogofilter. Note that most Bayesian filters need 1000 to 5000 of each
351 type of message to start doing a good job.
