Dear Sir/Madam,
SEEKING FOR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE
(TRANSFER OF US$15.5MILLION)
It is my pleasure to request your assistance on this business proposition which if pursued to its conclusion ,will be of immense benefit to both of us. This request may seem strange but I will crave your indulgence and pray that you view it seriously. My name is Col. Victor Aloma of the Democratic Republic of Congo I am one of close aids to the formal president of Congo Democratic LAURENT KABILA of blessed memory, may his soul rest in peace.
For the military of LAURENT KABILA to force out the rebles in my country, I was instructed by him (late president Kabila) to go to the Europe to purchase ARMS
AND AMMUNIATION worth us$15.5(fifteen million Five Hundred Thousand us Dollars) to fight the reble groups. But when it became ap! parent that president
Kabila has been killed in a bloody shoot out by one of his aids. I immediately decided to divert the fund ( US$15.5) into a private security company for safe
keeping. The money is presently in Holland (The Netherlands) where I am currently in exile after the death of president Kabila.
I need a reliable and trust worthy foreign partner/national who can assist me to clear and move this money as the beneficiary from the security company.
Though we have not seen nor met each other, but I would want this transaction to be properly handled with modesty and honesty to a huge success within two weeks, this money in question is state fund as it is a deal between you and I, hence the need for secrecy considering the security implications.
Thus, if you are willing to assist me to move this fund out of the Netherlands, you can contact me onthe above email addres to enable us discuss more about the deal and what your percentage will be for assisting me.
Please note that you will be required to make a brief trip to the Netherlands for inspection of the fund. I also intend to visit your country soonest in order to inquire areas of possible business investment.
For your assistance, i will give you 25% of the entire fund and 5% will be set aside to settle any expences incured in the transaction while the remainning 70% will be for me.
I shall be sincerely glad if my request is rendered.
Kindest Regards,
COL. Victor Aloma
Could someone point me to an open-source SPAM filter that I can install on
a computer where I’m not the sysadmin?
I’m on a Solaris system, so I’d most likely need something available in
source form so I can compile it for this platform.
Thanks.

Perl-based so you should be able to just stick it somewhere. I use it in my
.procmailrc and I think it gets 90% or so without much tweaking, probably would
do better if I turned on some of the more advanced features.
Of course, if your sysadmin isn’t running procmail I’m not sure of how you
would make use of it conveniently.

Visit http://freshmeat.net/ search for SPAM. What to use? Depends on
what you have and (dis)like. Many SPAM filters work like procmail:
cat $HOME/.forward
“| exec /usr/bin/procmail”
If you want Ruby that could be $HOME/bin/gurgitate-mail in place of
procmail
“gurgitate-mail” is a program which reads your mail and filters it
according to the .gurgitate-rules.rb file in your home directory.
The configuration file uses Ruby syntax and is thus quite flexible.

Hello!
http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/
It’s a bayesian spam filter. I’ve already filtered over-60.000 emails with it
and, so far, I’ve got 94% of them right. If you’d like, I can share my SPAM
database for bogofilter.

I use spamprobe (http://spamprobe.sf.net/) from my home directory on a
machine I don’t have root on. It’s written in C++, Bayesian, and light
on dependencies.

Looks interesting.
The website says that it takes an input from stdin and returns 1 or 0
depending on whether it’s spam or not.
How do I actually use it? Do I need to write a sepparate program to
output the mails based on the return value of bogofilter?
Thanks for the help,

That’s true.

Nope. Use procmail. That’s my procmail recipe to use bogofilter:
—<$HOME/.procmailrc>—
spectra@zeus:~$ cat .procmailrc
MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/spectra
SPAMFILE=$MAILDIR/spam
Bogofilter
:0HB:
- ? bogofilter -u
$SPAMFILE
—----
As simple as that. You see I’ve used the procmail token “?”, which will honor
bogofilter’s return value.
I use it with the option “u”, which means “classify it already and add it to
the appropriate database”. If it’s not sent it to $SPAMFILE, it’s sent to
$DEFAULT.
I check the $MAILDIR/spam often to confirm they’re really spam.
False-positives (bogofilter say it’s spam when it’s not) and false-negatives
(bogofilter say it’s not spam when it is) are corrected with
bash$ cat false-positive-spam | bogofilter -Sn
bash$ cat false-negative-spam | bogofilter -Ns
Thanks for the help,
You’re welcome. Don’t forget to train bogofilter before using it (unless
you’re happy with reclassifying all your mail for the next 2 weeks). I can
send you my databases, if you’d like, but be ready:
spectra@zeus:~$ ls -lh .bogofilter
total 35M
-rw-rw-r-- 1 spectra spectra 16M 2003-04-15 19:21 goodlist.db
-rw-rw-r-- 1 spectra spectra 18M 2003-04-15 19:21 spamlist.db

Thanks for the help. Could you help me with a couple more questions?:
- How do I know if the system here is using procmail? I know it’s
installed on the system. Should I do this:
$ cat > ~/.forward
procmail
Will that do what I want?
-
Do I need to do something to my mail client (mutt) to it reads the
mail from a different directory? (wherever procmail puts the mail). I
suppose so. I’ll try google for that information.
-

I can see this:
bash$ cat false-positive-spam | bogofilter -Sn
bash$ cat false-negative-spam | bogofilter -Ns
But I still need to get the false-(positive|negative) into a file. Can I
just save the file with my mail client and do the above? Or will that
lose some important information?
- Yes, I’d appreciate borrowing your databases as a starting point.
Are they ASCII? (so I can edit them by hand).
Thanks again.

I’d like to apologize. I thought that the first [OFF-TOPIC]* email had
been sent to me directly. I simply hit “reply” without realizing that I
was sending it to the entire list.
Thanks all for understanding.

It will unless your site’s MTA doesn’t honor it (happened to me)
But depending on how the MTA is configured you might not need it at all
(sometimes procmail is called automatically if ~/.procmailrc is found).
- Do I need to do something to my mail client (mutt) to it reads the
mail from a different directory? (wherever procmail puts the mail). I

You can tell procmail to put the mail anywhere you like w/
MAILDIR=/path/to/dest/dir
in ~/.procmailrc.
Don’t forget to instruct mutt to read mail from the same directory:
set folder=/path/to/dest/dir
in ~/.muttrc.

Should work. As you’re using mutt you can tag all files at once (‘t’)
and then move them all to a different folder (‘;s’).
