junkfilter for DEBIAN
----------------------

This is a simple but effective method of removing junk email from your
life. It makes use of procmail, and contains a number of filters which can
be activated in a variety of configurable patterns. The filters, when
detecting junk mail, allows the user to set up procmail to react to the
different classes of junk (or rather suspected junk) in a user-defined way.

I use this all the time, filtering suspected junk to a folder. Although not
perfect, it does trap ALL of my junk mail, and the real mail that it
also traps is almost always classified as junk due to a misconfiguraton
at the originating site.

In this release, I have created a simple installation program which each
user must run to access junkfilter. It is still experimental and is rather
simplistic, but works for me. I will continue to develop it... It should
allow people to update junkfilter without having to do too much thinking!
The script is called "userinstall", but it would be worth looking at before
you run it!

I had to add JFUSERDIR to the environmental variables. This allows JFDIR
to continue to point to the installation directory, while JFUSERDIR allows
the user to have local filters separate from the installation.
