I sent Eric a patch to fix the -N breakage and another bug report yesterday, and will have to figure what else is going astray. It may not necessarily be bogofilter, it may also be my doing it the wrong way. However, there are at least two competing projects that a "Bayesian" search on freshmeat dug up, but I have not yet had the time to look at them. From what it looks, your script could easily also support spamprobe, it's similar to bogofilter in use, only that it uses cleartext operation mode specifiers rather than options as -n or -s (as bogofilter does). 1. spamprobe http://sourceforge.net/projects/spamprobe/ uses GNU gdbm 2. bayespam http://www.garyarnold.com/projects.php seems to use some db as well but looks targetted at qmail =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 3. bogofilter http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/bogofilter/ uses HP's LGPL Judy in a persistent daemon and plain text files --=20 Matthias Andree
