Spambuckets are e-mail addresses purposely used to receive spam these
could be e-mail address of former employees or e-mails placed on
websites for bots to harvest. This helps add to the word and phrase
collections to build ASSP's corpus. I once had a problem with spam
e-mails getting past ASSP and even my spamassassin running at the mail
server. These were messages with a few sentences and link. They where
all coming from free e-mail domains particularly hotmail. Once I
enabled URIBL, the problem stopped. 

If you train users to keep on submitting spam messages with image
spam eventually bayesian filter will stop them. By using combinations
of Bayesian, Spambuckets, DSNBL and URIBL, ASSP will greatly reduce
spam messages from getting through. 

I'm not sure about plugins but that's the beauty of open source no
one will stop you from adding your own modifications.

Hi

I'm not clear on the spam filtering

It appears ASSP uses Bayesian, Spambuckets, DSNBL and URIBL

Is there more options? Currently we use a highly customized Spam
Assassin 
with our own rulesets, can we do something similarly with ASSP spam 
filtering?

Can we add a plug in that uses something like Message Sniffer?

I like a lot of the functionality of training messages from a user
and 
administrators perspective but I'm concerned about image spam and
some 
content spam getting through.

I believe any one of our mail servers generate enough email over the
course 
of a week to train the Bayesian filter but spam evolves and I'm
concerned 
about preventing this.

Thanks
