  "Blacklist MSG with SpamAssassin.

SpamAssassin is one of the more popular spam filtering programs. Get
it from your local distribution or from http://spamassassin.org/.

To use SpamAssassin, add the following recipes to `.procmailrc':

    MAILDIR=$HOME/`mhparam Path`

    # Fight spam with SpamAssassin.
    :0fw
    | spamc

    # Anything with a spam level of 10 or more is junked immediately.
    :0:
    * ^X-Spam-Level: ..........
    /dev/null

    :0:
    * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
    spam/.

If you don't use `spamc', use `spamassassin -P -a'.

Note that one of the recipes above throws away messages with a score
greater than or equal to 10. Here's how you can determine a value that
works best for you.

First, run `spamassassin -t' on every mail message in your archive and
use Gnumeric to verify that the average plus the standard deviation of
good mail is under 5, the SpamAssassin default for \"spam\".

Using Gnumeric, sort the messages by score and view the messages with
the highest score. Determine the score which encompasses all of your
interesting messages and add a couple of points to be conservative.
Add that many dots to the `X-Spam-Level:' header field above to send
messages with that score down the drain.

In the example above, messages with a score of 5-9 are set aside in
the `+spam' folder for later review. The major weakness of rules-based
filters is a plethora of false positives so it is worthwhile to check.

If SpamAssassin classifies a message incorrectly, or is unsure, you
can use the MH-E commands \\[mh-junk-blacklist] and
\\[mh-junk-whitelist].

The \\[mh-junk-blacklist] command adds a `blacklist_from' entry to
`~/spamassassin/user_prefs', deletes the message, and sends the
message to the Razor, so that others might not see this spam. If the
`sa-learn' command is available, the message is also recategorized as
spam.

The \\[mh-junk-whitelist] command adds a `whitelist_from' rule to the
`~/.spamassassin/user_prefs' file. If the `sa-learn' command is
available, the message is also recategorized as ham.

Over time, you'll observe that the same host or domain occurs
repeatedly in the `blacklist_from' entries, so you might think that
you could avoid future spam by blacklisting all mail from a particular
domain. The utility function `mh-spamassassin-identify-spammers' helps
you do precisely that. This function displays a frequency count of the
hosts and domains in the `blacklist_from' entries from the last blank
line in `~/.spamassassin/user_prefs' to the end of the file. This
information can be used so that you can replace multiple
`blacklist_from' entries with a single wildcard entry such as:

    blacklist_from *@*amazingoffersdirect2u.com

In versions of SpamAssassin (2.50 and on) that support a Bayesian
classifier, \\[mh-junk-blacklist] uses the `sa-learn' program to
recategorize the message as spam. Neither MH-E, nor SpamAssassin,
rebuilds the database after adding words, so you will need to run
`sa-learn --rebuild' periodically. This can be done by adding the
following to your crontab:

    0 * * * *	sa-learn --rebuild > /dev/null 2>&1"

  "Blacklist MSG with bogofilter.

Bogofilter is a Bayesian spam filtering program. Get it from your
local distribution or from http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/.

Bogofilter is taught by running:

    bogofilter -n < good-message

on every good message, and

    bogofilter -s < spam-message

on every spam message. This is called a full training; three other
training methods are described in the FAQ that is distributed with
bogofilter. Note that most Bayesian filters need 1000 to 5000 of each
type of message to start doing a good job.

To use bogofilter, add the following recipes to `.procmailrc':

    MAILDIR=$HOME/`mhparam Path`

    # Fight spam with bogofilter.
    :0fw
    | bogofilter -3 -e -p

    :0:
    * ^X-Bogosity: Yes, tests=bogofilter
    spam/.

    :0:
    * ^X-Bogosity: Unsure, tests=bogofilter
    spam/unsure/.

If bogofilter classifies a message incorrectly, or is unsure, you can
use the MH-E commands \\[mh-junk-blacklist] and \\[mh-junk-whitelist]
to update bogofilter's training.

The \"Bogofilter FAQ\" suggests that you run the following
occasionally to shrink the database:

    bogoutil -d wordlist.db | bogoutil -l wordlist.db.new
    mv wordlist.db wordlist.db.prv
    mv wordlist.db.new wordlist.db
