I don't know if it's possible, but here are some ideas to try. Create the dummy wordlist and a test configuration file. The four critical settings are robs, robx, ham_cutoff, and spam_cutoff. robx is the score given to an unknown token, i.e. one not seen before. Bogofilter's default settings put robx between ham_cutoff and spam_cutoff so that unknown tokens will receive an 'unknown' classification. When robx is larger than spam_cutoff, unknowns will be considered spam. When robx is less than ham_cutoff, unknows will be considered ham. Give it a try and report back :-> Regards, David _______________________________________________ Bogofilter mailing list [email protected] http://www.bogofilter.org/mailman/listinfo/bogofilter
