I, too, make a practice of to preserving sequences of useful commands in scripts. As a tip, using "-B" instead of "-I" allows listing of multiple message sources (mailboxes, maildirs, etc) in 1 command, e.g. bogofilter -M -s -d /etc/bogofilter -B /home/karl/mail/*s-archived-spam* > Everything works (not sure if it is tagging quite as much spam) then it > ends ups stopping after about 48 hours. > > This is on a Tyan MB with ECC memory, antec powersupply - I think a > quite stable system running bind, dhcp,hylasfax, samba, nfs, imap all > flawlessly.

Bogofilter can be built with "make check" which runs a series of 40 or so regression tests. The 2 locking tests run multiple copies of bogofilter to test operating system, database, and bogofilter. If you have source code, it's probably worth running -- just for grins. > I hope I didn't sound off base here and hope I haven't ruffled any > feathers, but I really do think that these should spend some time in > unstable. Nope, no ruffled feathers here. Guess you'll have to try harder :-) Cheers! David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
