Bogofilter 0.2 released
Eric Raymond has released version 0.2 of
bogofilter,
a new spam filtering package.
"Bogofilter is a Bayesian spam filter. In its normal mode of operation, it takes an email message or other text on standard input, does a statistical check against lists of "good" and "bad" words, and returns a status code indicating whether or not the message is spam. Bogofilter is designed with fast algorithms (including the Judy fast-associative-array technique), coded directly in C, and tuned for speed, so it can be used for production by sites that process a lot of mail."

Bogofilter 0.2 released Posted Aug 24, 2002 16:10 UTC (Sat) by fachat (guest, #3414) [Link] I wonder whether it is known that the "Judy fast-associative-array"technique seems to be covered by patents hold by HP. At least the notes in this www.interex.org/conference/iworks2001/proceedings/4050/4050.pdf document suggest that HP has pending patents on it ("Patents pending on Judy Technology" on page 7) What implications does this have?
