Well, I talked to the author in November 2003 and he told me that bmf is
pretty stable. But he had some changes that he wanted to commit soon.

Well, I would prefer to use bmf, even it's the package from sourceforge.
First it's just 32K size compared to 880K that bogofilter needs. Also so
far bmf worked fine, except for a very tiny amount of spam in the last
days that I had to reclassify. But all other spam was caught correctly.
And since I prefer small utiltiy for any task, I'm prefer to stick to
bmf. And last but not least, I'm not much in favour of using software
written by Eric S. Raymond. But I'm aware that this isn't a good
argument to keep that bugreport open.
