;;; Commentary:

;;; This module addresses a few aspects of spam control under Gnus.  Page
;;; breaks are used for grouping declarations and documentation relating to
;;; each particular aspect.

;;; The integration with Gnus is not yet complete.  See various `FIXME'
;;; comments, below, for supplementary explanations or discussions.

;;; Code:

;; FIXME!  We should not require `dns' nor `message' until we actually
;; need them.  Best would be to declare needed functions as auto-loadable.

;; evaluation would not be useful anymore.  Lars?? :-)

;; FIXME!  It is rather questionable to see `K', `X' and `Y' as indicating
;; positive ham.  It much depends on how and why people use kill files, score
;; files, and the kill command.  Maybe it would be better, by default, to not
;; process a message neither as ham nor spam, that is, just ignore it for
;; learning purposes, when we are not sure of how the user sees it.
;; But `r' and `R' should undoubtedly be seen as ham.

;; FIXME!  Some might consider overkill to define a list of spam marks.  On
;; the other hand, who knows, some users might for example like that
;; explicitly `E'xpired articles be processed as positive spam.

;; FIXME!  Lars has not blessed the following key bindings yet.  It looks
;; convenient that the score analysis command uses a sequence ending with the
;; letter `t', so it nicely parallels `B t' or `V t'.  `M-d' is a kind of
;; "alternate" `d', it is also the sequence suggested in Paul Graham article,
;; and also in Eric Raymond's patch for Mutt.  `S x' might be the more
;; official key binding for `M-d'.

;;;; Training via Bogofilter.   Last updated 2002-09-02.

;;; See Paul Graham article, at `http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html'.

;;; This page is for those wanting to control spam with the help of Eric
;;; Raymond's speedy Bogofilter, see http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/bogofilter.
;;; This has been tested with a locally patched copy of version 0.4.

;;; Make sure Bogofilter is installed.  Bogofilter internally uses Judy fast
;;; associative arrays, so you need to install Judy first, and Bogofilter
;;; next.  Fetch both distributions by visiting the following links and
;;; downloading the latest version of each:
;;;
;;;     http://sourceforge.net/projects/judy/
;;;     http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/bogofilter/
;;;
;;; Unpack the Judy distribution and enter its main directory.  Then do:
;;;
;;;     ./configure
;;;     make
;;;     make install
;;;
;;; You will likely need to become super-user for the last step.  Then, unpack
;;; the Bogofilter distribution and enter its main directory:
;;;
;;;     make
;;;     make install
;;;
;;; Here as well, you need to become super-user for the last step.  Now,
;;; initialize your word lists by doing, under your own identity:
;;;
;;;     mkdir ~/.bogofilter
;;;     touch ~/.bogofilter/badlist
;;;     touch ~/.bogofilter/goodlist
;;;
;;; These two files are text files you may edit, but you normally don't!

;;; The `M-d' command gets added to Gnus summary mode, marking current article
;;; as spam, showing it with the `H' mark.  Whenever you see a spam article,
;;; make sure to mark its summary line with `M-d' before leaving the group.
;;; Some groups, as per variable `spam-junk-mailgroups' below, receive articles
;;; from Gnus splitting on clues added by spam recognisers, so for these
;;; groups, we tack an `H' mark at group entry for all summary lines which
;;; would otherwise have no other mark.  Make sure to _remove_ `H' marks for
;;; any article which is _not_ genuine spam, before leaving such groups: you
;;; may use `M-u' to "unread" the article, or `d' for declaring it read the
;;; non-spam way.  When you leave a group, all `H' marked articles, saved or
;;; unsaved, are sent to Bogofilter which will study them as spam samples.

;;; Messages may also be deleted in various other ways, and unless
;;; `spam-ham-marks-form' gets overridden below, marks `R' and `r' for default
;;; read or explicit delete, marks `X' and 'K' for automatic or explicit
;;; kills, as well as mark `Y' for low scores, are all considered to be
;;; associated with articles which are not spam.  This assumption might be
;;; false, in particular if you use kill files or score files as means for
;;; detecting genuine spam, you should then adjust `spam-ham-marks-form'.  When
;;; you leave a group, all _unsaved_ articles bearing any the above marks are
;;; sent to Bogofilter which will study these as not-spam samples.  If you
;;; explicit kill a lot, you might sometimes end up with articles marked `K'
;;; which you never saw, and which might accidentally contain spam.  Best is
;;; to make sure that real spam is marked with `H', and nothing else.

;;; All other marks do not contribute to Bogofilter pre-conditioning.  In
;;; particular, ticked, dormant or souped articles are likely to contribute
;;; later, when they will get deleted for real, so there is no need to use
;;; them prematurely.  Explicitly expired articles do not contribute, command
;;; `E' is a way to get rid of an article without Bogofilter ever seeing it.

;;; In a word, with a minimum of care for associating the `H' mark for spam
;;; articles only, Bogofilter training all gets fairly automatic.  You should
;;; do this until you get a few hundreds of articles in each category, spam
;;; or not.  The shell command `head -1 ~/.bogofilter/*' shows both article
;;; counts.  The command `S S' in summary mode, either for debugging or for
;;; curiosity, triggers Bogofilter into displaying in another buffer the
;;; "spamicity" score of the current article (between 0.0 and 1.0), together
;;; with the article words which most significantly contribute to the score.

;;; The real way for using Bogofilter, however, is to have some use tool like
;;; `procmail' for invoking it on message reception, then adding some
;;; recognisable header in case of detected spam.  Gnus splitting rules might
;;; later trip on these added headers and react by sorting such articles into
;;; specific junk folders as per `spam-junk-mailgroups'.  Here is a possible
;;; `.procmailrc' contents (still untested -- please tell me how it goes):
;;;
