It DOES work, for me, for both POP and IMAP accounts, in 2.21.5 and in
the very latest SVN version. And in 2.21.4 as well, and also previous
versions. Other people have also reported that it's working for them.
Your blanket statement that "it doesn't work" is incorrect. It doesn't
work for YOU (and apparently some others). But it does work (for at
least some people).
I don't doubt you, and I'm sure that it's frustrating, but since it does
work for others that means that the bug won't be so easy to find, and
will require your cooperation since you're able to reproduce it. That
effort on your part is the "hidden cost" of free software. If you're
not willing to help, please feel free to return the software to where
you got it for a full refund.
I've already asked for one bit of information which has not yet been
provided: please examine the modification time on your
~/.bogofilter/wordlist.db file before and after you get mail that should
be spam filtered. Does the timestamp change? Also, how large is your
wordlist.db file?
Also, please run this command (_exactly_ as I've typed it here!)
/usr/bin/bogofilter -V
and include the output.
Another common reason for spam filtering not working is some other
application checking your mail. Evo filtering only happens on mail
which has never been read before; any checking of the mail (including
automated checks) can break this. However, since you say it was all
working before this doesn't seem likely unless some other change
happened at the same time.
