[Savannah-hackers] [Savannah] bsf want to be a GNU package

[savannah-hackers]

Hi,

The following project was submitted to Savannah. It needs evaluation to
become a GNU package, can you give it a look, please ? 

Submitter: <address@hidden>
Project Full Name:  Bayesian Spam Filter
Project System Name:  bsf
License:  gpl
Approval URL: https://savannah.gnu.org/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=3435
Description: The BSF (Bayesian Spam Filter) project aims to develop an 
automatic filter for SPAM (junk or not solicited email).

The vast common filters for SPAM works with a (big) set of rules with words 
that spammers most use in their mail.

A Bayesian filter works with the statistics from your mailbox. It automatically 
save keywords from your normal inbox and from your spambox so it determines 
whether a new incoming mail is spam or not, using the Bayesian\'s rule of 
combining probabilities. Check this url for a simple explanation:
http://www.paulgraham.com/naivebayes.html

This approach means: Faster execution (no big list of rules, they are 
determined statistically) and better accuracy.

Actually, there are some other similar projects. However, our main goals are:
- Good Accuracy (we hope 95% of effectivity).
- Ease of use for the end user.
- Integration with other MUAs (Mail User Agents like mutt, pine, Gnome 
evolution, etc).
- Fast execution.
- Automatic addition/deletion of keywords.

The project is actually in full development in Perl. We are testing differents 
algorithms/approach with differents sources of real mail.
