Bug 19947 – bayesian spam filter: bmf-0.9.4.ebuild (new package)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Steingrim Dovland 2003-04-25 11:29:16 UTC]

bmf is a Bayesian spam filter, designed to be fast and small.  It uses
spamassassin-like tagging of mails.  It defaults to berkeley db-format, but it
can also use plain text files and mysql, IUSE is therefore "mysql berkdb" and
DEPEND is set according to these flags.  I have been using it for a while, and
it works great, it feels faster than bogofilter and spamassassin.

Right now the original Makefile includes a 'whoami' test to ensure the user is
root, but this could be commented out with a patch if necessary.  It compiles
cleanly and uses DESTDIR to 'make install' so there should be no problems with it.

Attached below is a tar.bz2-ball with the ebuild and digest.  I would not mind
maintaining this ebuild if noone wants it :)

I suggest net-mail/bmf.
