Subject: Bogofilter - 0.15.13 - New Stable Release
Bogofilter is a mail filter that classifies mail 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, ...
=======================================================================

available on SourceForge. The download URL is

Subject: TuxMobil News 12/2003
Hello,
the last TuxMobil News digest for 2003[1] has again good news
for Linux PDA, mobile phone and laptop users. Here is an
extract of the most important messages.
Werner Heuser <wehe_at_tuxmobil.org>
|=| The ndiswrapper[2] now supports Intel's WLAN PRO/Wireless 2100 chipset,
which is part of their Centrino(TM) technology[3]. Besides the
commercial DriverLoader[4] from Linuxant therefore an Open Source
solution is also available.
|=| Element Computer offers a TabletPC[5] pre-equipped with the
Lycoris Desktop/LX Tablet Edition for Linux[6]. This is the second
commercial TabletPC with Linux, since the one made by
PaceBlade[7]. More about Linux on TabletPCs is at TuxMobil[8].
|=| Linux on cell phones is still becoming more and more popular.
Japan's #1 cellular carrier NTT DoCoMo has adopted Linux for 3G phones[9].
Samsung debuts Linux-powered smartphone in China[10]. A Chinese company
based in Shanghai named 'E28' has quietly been selling Linux-based
smartphones in China since August[11]. And SDG-Systems provides
a driver for the Pretec GPRS CF-Card for the Zaurus and Yopy Linux PDAs.
More about Linux on and with mobile cell phones at TuxMobil[13].
|=| TuxMobil has got the first report about Linux on a laptop
with 64-bit CPU[14]. A Xeron Sonic Pro 800MX with an AMD64 chip.
