My idea wasn't to replace ASSP entirely with DSPAM, but to replace ASSP's bayesian functions only with it. ASSP would still do all the other checks it is great at, but when it came to the need for bayesian checking, it would classify the message using the dspam engine instead.
I initially proposed it because I was seeing very poor performance from ASSP's bayesian filter. Even after much training, collecting, and a perfectly balanced corpus, I am still not entirely happy with it, but fortunately there are tons of other tests that ASSP does that catches a lot more spam. bytehd wrote: > I admit I have not looked at DSPAM since I first was hooked on ASSP in > February after reading the > HOWTOFORGE article on ASSP.
