RE: [IMail Forum] Spam, Ipswitch and Declude

Hi Kyle.   There was a little bit of tweaking, but really not much.  I spent far more time working with Imail with very little success.  I had too many false positives and too little spam caught with imail, even with a fair amount of work.   Out of the box, changing the action on a couple of the tests, and whitelisting all of our internal IPs took maybe thirty minutes.  I have only had three or four false positives, which were easily corrected by being a bit less aggressive with the BADHEADERS test.   I am moving anything over 10 to a spam account for review, and have just begun deleting anything over 20.  I have not seen ANYTHING over 20 that was not complete spam.   There is no real updating like Imail – it doesn’t use a word filter or bad domain list.  It runs tests like: Header tests, Rev DNS, funky routing, RBL, etc.  It rates the mail by the number of the tests (and which ones) the mail fails to assign it a likelihood of being spam.  The more tests, the higher the spam number, and the more likely it is spam.   You can get a 30 day trial for free.  After you try it out, there will be no going back.  I am extremely pleased with it.  With the administration involved with getting imail’s to work, I was seriously considering not doing any filtering.  Now, I have very little admin, and all of the customers we have activated it for so far love it.   Don   -----Original Message----- From: Kyle Fisher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2003 3:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Spam, Ipswitch and Declude   Don,   Does it automatically download new updates?  I know there is probably some initial tweaking, but do you have to put a lot of time in after it is set up.   Kyle   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don L.
