There really isn't such a thing as "old data" with a spam filter database. The more data you have, the better your filter will be. You can look at the data using bogoutils if you want to see how things are set up in the files but there really isn't that much danger of the database growing exceptionally large. I've run over 40,000 emails through mine and my databases combined are less than 16MB. It's a well documented program and just about everything you need to make it work well is in the docs. If it isn't, I think they run a mailing list too. -- The Wandering Dru <dru at druswanderings.net> http://druswanderings.net <--- Things 'n' Such Get nifty TCLUG merchandise at the TCLUG Store! http://www.cafeshops.com/tclug _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
