  Description     : Small and quick Bayesian spam filter

   Quick Spam Filter (qsf) is a lightweight statistical spam filter
   written in C. It is designed to be small, fast, reliable, easy to
   install, and simple to use in a procmail recipe. For these reasons it
   is not written in Perl (slow to start up) and does not run as a
   daemon handling requests (more complex, harder to install and use).

   To recognise spam, qsf splits email into tokens (words, word pairs,
   URLs, and so on) and, using its previously generated database,
   assigns each token a spam/nonspam weighting. An overall score is
   calculated to find out whether the email should be considered to be
   spam or not.

   Generation of the database can be done either by supplying two mail
   folders (one full of spam, one full of non-spam) and using the
   training mode, or by using the restore/import mode to load a database
   generated by someone else. Maintenance of the database can be done by
   feeding additional emails to qsf one at a time in "mark as
   spam/nonspam" mode as necessary.
