From: David Relson <relson@osagesoftware.com>
Subject: bogofilter-0.92.8 - new stable release
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-0.92.8 has been promoted to "stable" status. See the
BOGOFILTER NEWS (below) for all the changes since the previous stable
release.
Files are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/bogofilter for
download.

BOGOFILTER NEWS
=================
Caution: If upgrading from an old version and skipping several
intervening versions of bogofilter, be smart and verify that the new
version is working for you before putting it into production.
Bogofilter's developers recommend that you run a few manual command
line tests. Use options, config files, and wordlists from your
production environment. This will help ensure that the new version of
bogofilter is working properly.
0.92.8 2004-10-19
* Ignore 'X-Bogosity' lines in mime attachments.
* Revise lexer variables for flex-2.5.31 compatibility.
* Bogotune now warns when using '-E' to suppress ESF checking
and non 1.0 esf values are read from the config file.
* Limit bogotune's scanning to rx values between 0.4 and 0.6.
* Fix a potential crash on malformatted input (writing a NUL byte to
the wrong place) in the RFC-2047 decoder. Reported by Clint Adams.
* bogofilter will now properly exit with code 3 when encountering write
errors in pass-through mode. It would use the wrong code, 2, since
the introduction of the "unsure" exit code.
* Properly flush existing data before changing I/O buffer size. Fixes
t.bogodir failure seen, for instance, on Solaris, particularly with
-D and redirected output.
* OS/2 compatibility fixes for configure, bogofilter, and
bogoutil (thanks to Yuri Dario).
0.92.7 2004-10-02
* Additional portability fix for SunOS 4.1.X
* '-M' allows processing 1 msg-count file with multiple messages.
Otherwise allow multiple msg-count files with 1 message in each.
* bogofilter-tuning.HOWTO revised and converted to html.
* Fixed help messages for bogofilter's "-m" and "-o" options.
* Allow only one of '-d' and '-D' options for bogotune.
* Remove check for bogohome since it breaks "bogotune -D".
* Fixed minor formatting defects in bogotune.
* Fixed bogotune man page error for "-d" option.
0.92.6 2004-08-22 - previous stable release
