;;; Commentary:
;; This implements spam analysis according to Paul Graham in "A Plan
;; for Spam". The basis for all this is a statistical distribution of
;; words for your spam and non-spam mails. We need this information
;; in a hash-table so that the analysis can use the information when
;; looking at your mails. Therefore, before you begin, you need tons
;; of mails (Graham uses 4000 non-spam and 4000 spam mails for his
;; experiments).
;;
;; The main interface to using spam-stat, are the following functions:
;;
;; `spam-stat-buffer-is-spam' -- called in a buffer, that buffer is
;; considered to be a new spam mail; use this for new mail that has
;; not been processed before
;;
;; `spam-stat-buffer-is-non-spam' -- called in a buffer, that buffer
;; is considered to be a new non-spam mail; use this for new mail that
;; has not been processed before
;;
;; `spam-stat-buffer-change-to-spam' -- called in a buffer, that
;; buffer is no longer considered to be normal mail but spam; use this
;; to change the status of a mail that has already been processed as
;; non-spam
;;
;; `spam-stat-buffer-change-to-non-spam' -- called in a buffer, that
;; buffer is no longer considered to be spam but normal mail; use this
;; to change the status of a mail that has already been processed as
;; spam
;;
;; `spam-stat-save' -- save the hash table to the file; the filename
;; used is stored in the variable `spam-stat-file'
;;
;; `spam-stat-load' -- load the hash table from a file; the filename
;; used is stored in the variable `spam-stat-file'
;;
;; `spam-stat-score-word' -- return the spam score for a word
;;
;; `spam-stat-score-buffer' -- return the spam score for a buffer
;;
;; `spam-stat-split-fancy' -- for fancy mail splitting; add
;; the rule (: spam-stat-split-fancy) to `nnmail-split-fancy'
;;
;; This requires the following in your ~/.gnus file:
;;
;; (require 'spam-stat)
;; (spam-stat-load)
;;; Testing:
;; Typical test will involve calls to the following functions:
;;
;; Reset: (spam-stat-reset)
;; Learn spam: (spam-stat-process-spam-directory "~/Mail/mail/spam")
;; Learn non-spam: (spam-stat-process-non-spam-directory "~/Mail/mail/misc")
;; Save table: (spam-stat-save)
;; File size: (nth 7 (file-attributes spam-stat-file))
;; Number of words: (hash-table-count spam-stat)
;; Test spam: (spam-stat-test-directory "~/Mail/mail/spam")
;; Test non-spam: (spam-stat-test-directory "~/Mail/mail/misc")
;; Reduce table size: (spam-stat-reduce-size)
;; Save table: (spam-stat-save)
;; File size: (nth 7 (file-attributes spam-stat-file))
;; Number of words: (hash-table-count spam-stat)
;; Test spam: (spam-stat-test-directory "~/Mail/mail/spam")
;; Test non-spam: (spam-stat-test-directory "~/Mail/mail/misc")
;;; Dictionary Creation:
;; Typically, you will filter away mailing lists etc. using specific
;; rules in `nnmail-split-fancy'. Somewhere among these rules, you
;; will filter spam. Here is how you would create your dictionary:
;; Reset: (spam-stat-reset)
;; Learn spam: (spam-stat-process-spam-directory "~/Mail/mail/spam")
;; Learn non-spam: (spam-stat-process-non-spam-directory "~/Mail/mail/misc")
;; Repeat for any other non-spam group you need...
;; Reduce table size: (spam-stat-reduce-size)
;; Save table: (spam-stat-save)
;;; Todo:
;; Speed it up. Integrate with Gnus such that it uses spam and expiry
;; marks to call the appropriate functions when leaving the summary
;; buffer and saves the hash table when leaving Gnus. More testing:
;; More mails, disabling SpamAssassin, double checking algorithm, find
;; improved algorithm.
