701 ;;; See Paul Graham article, at `http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html'.
703 ;;; This page is for those wanting to control spam with the help of
704 ;;; Eric Raymond's speedy Bogofilter, see
705 ;;; http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/bogofilter. This has been tested with
706 ;;; a locally patched copy of version 0.4.
708 ;;; Make sure Bogofilter is installed. Bogofilter internally uses
709 ;;; Judy fast associative arrays, so you need to install Judy first,
710 ;;; and Bogofilter next. Fetch both distributions by visiting the
711 ;;; following links and downloading the latest version of each:
713 ;;; http://sourceforge.net/projects/judy/
714 ;;; http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/bogofilter/
716 ;;; Unpack the Judy distribution and enter its main directory. Then do:
722 ;;; You will likely need to become super-user for the last step.
723 ;;; Then, unpack the Bogofilter distribution and enter its main
729 ;;; Here as well, you need to become super-user for the last step.
730 ;;; Now, initialize your word lists by doing, under your own identity:
732 ;;; mkdir ~/.bogofilter
733 ;;; touch ~/.bogofilter/badlist
734 ;;; touch ~/.bogofilter/goodlist
736 ;;; These two files are text files you may edit, but you normally don't!
738 ;;; The `M-d' command gets added to Gnus summary mode, marking current
739 ;;; article as spam, showing it with the `H' mark. Whenever you see a
740 ;;; spam article, make sure to mark its summary line with `M-d' before
741 ;;; leaving the group. Some groups, as per variable
742 ;;; `spam-junk-mailgroups' below, receive articles from Gnus splitting
743 ;;; on clues added by spam recognisers, so for these groups, we tack
744 ;;; an `H' mark at group entry for all summary lines which would
745 ;;; otherwise have no other mark. Make sure to _remove_ `H' marks for
746 ;;; any article which is _not_ genuine spam, before leaving such
747 ;;; groups: you may use `M-u' to "unread" the article, or `d' for
748 ;;; declaring it read the non-spam way. When you leave a group, all
749 ;;; `H' marked articles, saved or unsaved, are sent to Bogofilter
750 ;;; which will study them as spam samples.
752 ;;; Messages may also be deleted in various other ways, and unless
753 ;;; `spam-ham-marks-form' gets overridden below, marks `R' and `r' for
754 ;;; default read or explicit delete, marks `X' and 'K' for automatic
755 ;;; or explicit kills, as well as mark `Y' for low scores, are all
756 ;;; considered to be associated with articles which are not spam.
757 ;;; This assumption might be false, in particular if you use kill
758 ;;; files or score files as means for detecting genuine spam, you
759 ;;; should then adjust `spam-ham-marks-form'. When you leave a group,
760 ;;; all _unsaved_ articles bearing any the above marks are sent to
761 ;;; Bogofilter which will study these as not-spam samples. If you
762 ;;; explicit kill a lot, you might sometimes end up with articles
763 ;;; marked `K' which you never saw, and which might accidentally
764 ;;; contain spam. Best is to make sure that real spam is marked with
765 ;;; `H', and nothing else.
767 ;;; All other marks do not contribute to Bogofilter pre-conditioning.
768 ;;; In particular, ticked, dormant or souped articles are likely to
769 ;;; contribute later, when they will get deleted for real, so there is
770 ;;; no need to use them prematurely. Explicitly expired articles do
771 ;;; not contribute, command `E' is a way to get rid of an article
772 ;;; without Bogofilter ever seeing it.
774 ;;; In a word, with a minimum of care for associating the `H' mark for
775 ;;; spam articles only, Bogofilter training all gets fairly automatic.
776 ;;; You should do this until you get a few hundreds of articles in
777 ;;; each category, spam or not. The shell command `head -1
778 ;;; ~/.bogofilter/*' shows both article counts. The command `S S' in
779 ;;; summary mode, either for debugging or for curiosity, triggers
780 ;;; Bogofilter into displaying in another buffer the "spamicity" score
781 ;;; of the current article (between 0.0 and 1.0), together with the
782 ;;; article words which most significantly contribute to the score.
784 ;;; The real way for using Bogofilter, however, is to have some use
785 ;;; tool like `procmail' for invoking it on message reception, then
786 ;;; adding some recognisable header in case of detected spam. Gnus
787 ;;; splitting rules might later trip on these added headers and react
788 ;;; by sorting such articles into specific junk folders as per
789 ;;; `spam-junk-mailgroups'. Here is a possible `.procmailrc' contents
790 ;;; (still untested -- please tell me how it goes):
794 ;;; | formail -bfI "X-Spam-Status: Yes"
