[Spambayes] A kinder, gentler hammie

[Neale Pickett]

I've checked in hammiefilter.py, which I've been using for a few days
now.  The idea is to make the user interface (that means command-line
options) as lightweight as possible.  Now the setup for a procmail-based
solution is even easier:

  $ hammiefilter.py -n
  Created new database in hammie.db

Then you add a procmail recipie like this:

  :0 fw 
  | hammiefilter.py

And in your MUA, pipe a message to it with the -s option for spam, or
the -g option for ham.


I think I'd like to have hammiefilter check for a "~/.hammierc" file
in addition to a bayescustomize.ini file, and also set the
persistent_storage_file option to "~/.hammie.db" unless it's
overridden.  With those two changes, we'd have something supremely easy
to drop into your mail setup.  Almost as easy as SpamAssassin (except,
of course, that you don't have to keep retraining SpamAssassin).
