Erm... I don't recall that it covers Bayesian, but it can take a total
nebie who knows nothing and get him along to some fairly sophisticated
procmail recipes.
It doesn't take much procmail to run a Bayesian filter; most of them that
I've seen are, like SpamAssassin, external programs which one can call
from procmail, and if I can do it, it doesn't take much procmail. I use
bogofilter, <http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/> which includes suggested
recipes in the man pages:
# filter mail through bogofilter, tagging it as spam and
# updating the word lists
:0fw
| bogofilter -u -e -p
# if bogofilter failed, return the mail to the queue, the MTA will
# retry to deliver it later
# 75 is the value for EX_TEMPFAIL in /usr/include/sysexits.h
:0e
{ EXITCODE=75 HOST }
# file the mail to spam-bogofilter if it's spam.
:0:
* ^X-Bogosity: Yes, tests=bogofilter
spam-bogofilter
All of which is not to say, of course, that buying Martin's book and
learning more procmail would not be A Good Thing.
