Subject: Bogofilter 1.0.0 - New 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, ...

This release is the culmination of 3 years of work that began after
Paul Graham's article "A Plan for Spam". Bogofilter has now reached a
sufficient level of capability, maturity, and stability that it is
worthy of the "1.0.0" label.
Thanks go to:
Eric S. Raymond who fathered version 0.1, 0.2, ....
Matthias Andree - our tools and portability wizard
Greg Louis - our algorithm wizard
and a cast of hundreds who have contributed suggestions, patches,
defect reports, and all the other minutiae that have helped bogofilter
achieve its current state.
Regards,
David Relson
