Description Erinn Looney-Triggs 2004-12-09 09:28:50 UTC
A version bump of bogofilter. 
Just so folks know: This info was taken from the release notes and represents a major change from 0.92.x.  Kmail's anti-spam wizard in KDE 3.3.2 has been updated to work with 0.93.x.

Defaults changed
----------------

Bogofilter's defaults have been changed.  It now operates in tri-state
mode and will classify messages as Spam, Ham, or Unsure.

If you're checking messages for "X-Bogosity: Yes" or "X-Bogosity: No",
you _need_ to change your checks.  Use "X-Bogosity: Spam" and
"X-Bogosity: Ham" instead of the old forms.  Also, checking for
"X-Bogosity: Unsure" and putting those messages in a separate folder (or
mailbox) will give you an excellent set of messages for training, as
"Unsure" messages are messages that bogofilter has too little
information to classify (with certainty) as spam or ham.

Thanks for your time,

Thanks for reporting. Submitted the new version but package.masked it because "Berkeley DB switched to Transactional Data Store" (turn this off by USEing notransactions) and 0.93 is still under development by upstream.
