Subject: [gentoo-dev] [ANNOUNCE] bayesiam SPAM filter 'bogofilter' ebuild on bugzilla
Date: Fri, 08 Nov 2002 20:02:51
Message-Id: 20021108200329.GA25219@jerry.marcet.dyndns.org
1 A couple hours ago I committed a new ebuild for a fast spam filter based
2 on Bayesian filters, popular since the publication of Paul Graham's
3 paper A Plan For Spam: http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html

5 You can find the ebuild on bugzilla:

8 I've only tested it on x86 and it's working pretty well, I much prefer
9 it over all the other spam-filters I've tried, including other
10 Bayesian-based ones.

12 With bogofilter's ebuild there is also one for Judy's libraries, general
13 purpose dynamic array's C libraries which claims to be much faster and
14 efficient than other data structures schemes, like binary trees,
15 B-trees, linked lists, ...
16 This I am interested in people on other architectures to see if it
17 works, since the autoconf version I used on the ebuild seems a work in
18 progress. In case there is any problem on PPC, sparc or whatever I'll
19 try to modify the ebuild :)

22 PS If you are aware of any other spam-filter tool which you consider
23 worth looking at, please tell!
24 I know about Spam-Assassin, which is just too big IMHO, spamprobe, based
25 on Bayesian methods, but unusable to filter each and every mail on a
26 production system, even a small one with only a few active users.
