Hi Thierry.
Problem solved, by a bit more logical thinking.
Filter 1. bogofilter
Filter criteria:
Match all of the following
<any header> matches regular expr .*
Filter Actions:
remove header X-Bogosity
remove header X-Attachments
pipe through /usr/local/bin/bogofilter -pev
Advanced options:
If this filter matches, stop processing here. (unchecked)
Filter 2. bogofilter_is_spam
Filter Criteria:
Match all of the following
X-Bogosity contains Spam
Filter Actions:
remove header X-Bogosity
remove header X-Attachments
file into folder spam
Advanced Options:
apply this filter to incoming messages (Checked)
on manual filtering (Checked)
If this filter matches, stop processing here (Checked)
Filter 3. bogofilter_is_ham
Filter Criteria:
Match all of the following
X-Bogosity contains Ham
Filter Actions:
remove header X-Bogosity
remove header X-Attachments
file into folder inbox
Advanced Options: (As Filter 2)
Filter 4. bogofilter_is_unsure
Filter Criteria:
Match all of the following
X-Bogosity contains Unsure
Filter Actions:
remove header X-Bogosity
remove header X-Attachments
file into folder unsure
Advanced Options: (As Filter 2)
I do not have any other mail filtering, and all the mail used to arrive in the
inbox. Now it is being separated to, spam, inbox, and unsure. Also the
X-bogosity added headers that were turning up in the inbox, are now gone, as
they should be.
Bogofilter using tri-state with the additional "Unsure" seems to be a good
idea, as I've just received 2 unsures, which are obviously Spam, but "Unsure"
is showing that they were on the way to being misidentified as Ham, and are
obvious candidates for adding to the Spam db.
At the moment I'm still building up the database, so am obviously adding all
the correctly identified Spam to it also.
I have not been using your shellscript, as some changes were necessary that I
wasn't sure of, due to changes in bogofilter 1.0.2, and am using the
following to update the database, having already created the .bogofilter
directory in /home/user-name. This is for Kmail directories using the maildir
format, with the new directories "Spam" and "NonSpam" for mail that
bogofilter is going to update the database with, and 2 new directories,
named, "spam" (lower case) , and "unsure" for the mail that bogofilter either
identifies as Spam, or is Unsure about.
bogofilter -sv -B Mail/Spam/cur (for the spam)
bogofilter -nv -B Mail/NonSpam/cur (for the nonspam)
Both of these are added to wordlist.db in .bogofilter, but separately
identified in it, so you can run bogoutil to see the separate wordlists for
spam, and nonspam, and also can see the MSG_COUNT for each.
Hope this might be of use to you, and others.
Nigel.
btw. How's the Gentoo install going? I've been through all that on dialup, and
havn't run emerge sync, or updated it for a long time, as it ties up one of
my 2 machines for ages.
