Best performance (most messages): 17 days with no error in 300 ham (18/d) and more than 9000 spam (529/d) messages with no change to the database. Using training-to-exhaustion.

Alternative Lexer
allows tokens of any length, every character of a token is essentially alphanumeric or above 127. If you want to use this version of the lexer, just replace the original file src/lexer_v3.l in the bogofilter source and compile. It is strongly recommended to rebuild the database once you start using a different version of the lexer.
- pi's lexer (modifications to get closer to standard version, slight improvement for mail server IDs, other changes should only be cosmetic) last modified 2010-08-19, fits 1.2.2)
- pi's lexer (modifications to get closer to standard version, slight improvement for mail server IDs, other changes should only be cosmetic) last modified 2006-11-26, fits 1.1.1–1.1.7 (probably also down to 0.96.2)
