I have an enlighten me question here. I hear what you responded to this person about catching legitimate email and have no reason to doubt what you say.
However, you publish month end results of the declude tests and tell what percent the methods caught based on emails that you specifically put out on the universe to attract spam. As these addresses were specifically put out as bait and not legit addresses that are used for every day correspondence, how can you be so sure that legitimate email would ALSO not be caught up in the declude rankings - as no legitimate email is coming into these test? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of R.

Here it is: FYI, at least 2 of those tests would each catch about 1% of our legitimate mail (all those tests combined would probably result in about 2% false positive ratio here). So while it may be very effective for you, others should be very careful before following the advice (most people seem to aim for a false positive ratio of about .1% or better). -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
