    Bogofilter is a mail filter that classifies email as spam or ham
    (non-spam) by a statistical analysis of the message's header and content
    (body). The program is able to learn from the user's classifications
    and corrections.

    The statistical technique is known as the Bayesian technique and its use
    for spam was described by Paul Graham in his article "A Plan For Spam".
    Gary Robinson, in his weblog Rants, suggests some refinements for
    improved discrimination between spam and ham. Bogofilter's primary
    algorithm uses the f(w) parameter and the Fisher inverse chi-square
    technique that he describes.

    Bogofilter is run by an MDA script to classify an incoming message as
    spam or ham (using wordlists stored by BerkeleyDB). Bogofilter provides
    processing for plain text and html, supports multi-part mime message
    with decoding of base64, quoted-printable, and uuencoded text and
    ignores attachments, such as images.

    Bogofilter is written in C. Supported platforms: Linux, FreeBSD,
    Solaris, OS X, HP-UX, AIX, RISC-OS, OS/2, ...

    Bogofilter-0.17.4 is the newest release in phase 2 of the bogofilter
    "Code Clean-up" release. It eliminates the gratuitous config file
    warning message of 0.17.3, fixes a minor bug in bogotune, and improves
    parsing of mime header parts and pgp signatures.

    File NEWS-0.17 has details of all the changes in the 0.17.x series.

    File RELEASE.NOTES-0.17 has details of the "Code Clean-up" changes. If
    you haven't read it already, do so! If you determine at some future
    date that you need the removed code, you'll have to download 0.16.4

    The files available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/bogofilter for
    download.
