<p>Before you start to use bmf it is a good thing to know a little bit about
the theoretical background of

<h3>Basic installation:</h3>
<h3>Training bmf:</h3>
<p>After installing the port put this at the top of your
<tt class="FILENAME">.procmailrc</tt>.
<p>Lets take a look at this basic <tt class="FILENAME">.procmailrc</tt> example.

<p>bmf will now sort your mail in a spam and non-spam folder. Training
bmf means you have to tell it when it has made a mistake.
As an example you can add these shortcuts to your <tt class="FILENAME">.muttrc</tt>

in your normal mailfolder.
<h3>Feeding a spam-archive to bmf:</h3>
<p>To speed up the process of feeding the bmf-database you can also
download a recent
<a href="http://www.em.ca/~bruceg/spam/">spam archive</a>
and run the files in the archive through the following oneliner:

<p>You can also mix bmf with
