Ditto what Aaron said. I ran about 2000 messages on Friday and Declude bagged 37% of them. I use a fairly soft weighting as I have my final action set to DELETE. If I played harder ball I bet I'd bag 50%, easy.
Performance hits (I am tinkering w/my system at the moment, and have extra stuff here I can lose, so bear this in mind): I'm running 31 separate tests, with the final arbiter being a Weight13 that tallies up the score run up by the previous 30. On my 1GB, dualPIII-800 SCSI Win2k box performance runs at about 450ms per message (switch the log level to debug and you can see the execution time). That's a lot, timewise, but the net effect on perceivable server performance is flat-out zero. Buy Declude. You'll need to play with it for a couple of weeks to see whats the right threshold for you... Which means you're going to scan thru a lot of ads telling how to enlarge Mr. Happy and whatnot, but once you are past that initial phase you can forget all about it. --Matt Robertson-- MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Kevin Crawford Sent: Saturday, April 27, 2002 3:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] consensus Hello - I have taken my credit card out of my wallet two or three times now, headed to buy declude junkmail - on the fence so to speak. I know how well declude works for AV - and I am very impressed with Scott as a helpful and courteous individual - and he seems real smart too - lots of knowledge on the workings of mail etc.... I am trying to drum up support (funds) for it from a few of my business customers. I would like some reviews if possible - what kind of kill rate some of you get without paying some of the db's services out there - just using the free stuff. Cold hard percentages would be good. I am using imgate at the moment, but the ability to just mark spam would be so much better than deleting it - and weighting sounds immensely better that pass or fail on one test, then on to the next. I have gone down to only blocking open relays (since no reason exists to have one - and if you are legit, you shouldn't want one anyway) Also, what kind of performance hits do you take - sorry to break in on such a quiet day - thanks Kevin --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
