WRT the last, it's a small pile of Windows .exe files along with
|
|
cygwin1.dll. The .exes are cmdline programs. One is a POP3 proxy. If I
|
|
currently have an email server named, say, mail.comcast.net, with user name
|
|
timmy, then I change my email reader to say that my server is 127.0.0.1, and
|
|
that my user name on that server is mail.comcast.net:timmy. In that way the
|
|
proxy picks up both the real server and user names from what the mail reader
|
|
tells it the user name is.
|
|
|
|
This is an N-way classifier (like ifile that way), and "all it does" is
|
|
insert a
|
|
|
|
X-Text-Classification: one_of_the_class_names_you_picked
|
|
|
|
header into your email before passing it on to your mail reader. The user
|
|
then presumably fiddles their mail reader to look for such headers and "do
|
|
something about it" (and even Outlook can handle *that* much <wink>).
|
|
|
|
The user is responsible for generating text files with appropriate examples
|
|
of each class of message, and for running the cmdline tools to train the
|
|
classifier.
