  "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
