Sounds good, but if you step up to the next level to 99+% spam blocking you
will get some false positives.  When we first installed Declude we were
happy with the 80% blocking out of the box, but since then anything below
97% is unacceptable to us and many of our users that would normally receive
a lot of spam.

With 99% blocking, it's quite common to have as much as 1% false positives,
though some have tweaked down to the 0.1% or lower range.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Another shameless plug for ASSP...


I love iMail, but am not pleased with its anti-spam features.. this led me
to try the open-source ASSP (assp.sourceforge.net).

My clients are extremely happy with it, as am I.  I don't make a cent from
recommending it or from anyone using it, except for what my clients pay me
to set it up.

I have shut off ALL of the iMail anti-spam features, btw.   I and my
clients get VERY few false positives, although they do occasionally
appear.   For example, in the last month I have had NO false positives on
my own mail server, am rejecting 91% (1200 emails or so per day!) of all
email as spam, and get 1-3 actual spam emails in my inbox a day.  My
clients' experiences are similar (79-91% spam).  And maintenance is as
close to nil as can be.  I now can spend my time on other issues.  Manually
fighting spam is a bear, as you know.

So until there's a new Internet standard in place that fights spam better..
ASSP is where I'll be.
