[Crm114-announce] New CRM114 Rev Out Now - with new MAILTRAINER.CRM utility

[Bill Y <ws...@me...>]

Here's probably the best-tested CRM114 rev yet:  20060118-BlameTheReavers

Because there were some big changes, I ran it myself for two weeks 
before going public with it.

Here's the update:

  "This is a big new functionality release- we include mailtrainer.crm
  as well as changing the default mailfilter.crm from Markovian to
  OSB. This new mailtrainer program is fed directories of example
  texts (one example per file), and produces optimized satistics files
  matched to your particular mailfilter.cf setup (each 1 meg of
  example takes about a minute of CPU). It even does N-fold
  validation. 

  "Default training is 5-pass DSTTTTR (a Fidelis-inspired
  improvement of TUNE) with a thick threshold of 5.0 pR
  units. Worst-offender DSTTTTR training as a (very slow)
  option. There are also speedups and bugfixes throughout the
  code. Unless you really like Markovian, now is a good time to think
  about saving your old .css files and switching over to the new
  default mailfilter.crm config that uses OSB unique microgroom. Then
  run mailtrainer.crm on your saved spam and good mail files, and see
  how your accuracy jumps. I'm seeing about a four-fold increase in
  accuracy on the TREC SA corpus; this is hot stuff indeed.

  "HOWEVER, the downside is that mailtrainer.crm expects to see your
  spam and good training data files in a maildir-like format (one dir
  for spam, the other for good); this isn't directly supported by
  mailfilter.crm yet, so unless your mailer supports maildirs, you
  will need to write a little script to build your training data
  directories.
