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

337 Bogofilter is taught by running:

341 on every good message, and
343 bogofilter -s < spam-message
345 on every spam message. This is called a full training; three other

347 bogofilter. Note that most Bayesian filters need 1000 to 5000 of each
348 type of message to start doing a good job.
