I installed bogofilter 2 days ago, and I fed it my mailing lists and
inbox and spam folder like this
cat mailinglistmbox | bogofilter -M -n
cat spamfolder | bogofilter -M -s
After which it has been rather impresively accurate (I removed
spamassasin from my procmailrc when I put in bogofilter and so far so
good).
I think I probably fed it 10000 spam and 3000 non spam.
I then programmed my mutt so when I hit d it tells bogofilter to add it
as non spam, and escape-d deletes it and flags it as a spam message
making things nice and easy to deal with and every message I get will be
fed as training food.
I do not use -u option.
