If you already have PolluStop installed on your system, you can follow these
steps to get a new version running.

-  Stop the filter
-  Backup your pollustop files if needed
-  Unpack the new package over the previous installation. No user-modifiable
   file will be overwritten.

If you're upgrading from v2.0 to v2.1
   -  Start the perl script (convertsettings_2.0-2.1.pl) to convert your
      settings file to the new format. The script will save the previous
      settings as pollustop.settings.old
   -  On startup, PolluStop will find the old database and convert it in the
      new format, it will automatically move the settings files to their final
      location.
   -  To get the best results, you SHOULD train from scratch, with your good
      messages and your spam. You SHOULD NOT use the packaged spam database.
   -  When upgrading from 2.0 to 2.1, you MAY keep the existing database,
      providing the existing database has been properly trained with v2.0.x;
      the files will be converted to the new format.

-  You MUST NOT use pollustop to filter mail when the database is not trained
   enough and properly trained, this will result as all messages being
   incorrectly tagged as spam.

-  Restart the filter, then open the web interface

   http://hostname:8001
   The default username and password are "pollustop" / "pollustop".

   8001 is the default listening port of PolluStop, and can be changed from the
   webadmin interface. If the port 8001 is not available on your system, you
   can specify an alternate port on the command line, for instance:
      pollustop/pollustop 8002

-  Carefully inspect all the settings. You may event want to go through the
   initial setup wizard, you can skip any unneeded step.
