The information you're looking for is at http://www.bgl.nu/bogofilter/tuning.html The whole process is somewhat tricky, while it does not exhibit outright catastrophic behaviour (in the physical sense), it is delicate, I'd encourage that the user sees through his bogofilter documentation (current versions ship more material and helper scripts on tuning, remember, bogofilter has yet to see 1.0) rather than dump some figures on the command line. Patience is an important virtue when dealing with learning filters -- and training. As bogofilter reads configuration files in a particular order, the user can just edit his ~/.bogofilter.cf to suit his needs and after the docs in /etc/bogofilter.cf.example, there's no need to figure gnus. I just wanted to point out that the hint that the spam cutoff were compiled-in is no longer true. -- Matthias Andree
