Indeed. Spam-filtering is a great "one size does NOT fit all" case. One person's spam is another person's ham. So anything that claims to be "set it and forget it" is lying, pure and simple. A good anti-spam system, as you note, will incorporate continuous feedback from the end-user. By continuously training the anti-spam system as to what is spam and what is not-spam, you can keep up with most of the tactics the spammers use to try and bypass filters. Continuous training means little additional effort on a day-to-day basis, but keeps the anti-spam system up-to-the-minute accurate with your email patterns. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do | | not represent the views or policy of any other person or organization. | | All information is provided without warranty of any kind. | _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
