Hi all, Our office spam count went from 80 in Oct, 140 Nov, 275 Dec...same trend during summer before school started in Aug/Sep but at a 40% less. So far Jan is not looking to drop back like Jun and Oct [may be worse than the holidays] and that follows all trend predictions for 2003
I just installed POPFile [free as in beer] which is a Bayesian filter and it also digs into the "all html base64 encoded" and has been nailing them 100%. It's available at http://popfile.sourceforge.net. It's out-of-box "training curve" this week was 85 percent and I'll reset the counters tomorrow to get a better "real feel" and should get 99% in the next couple of weeks. We have 30 diverse people in 5 departments which will probably increase the curve over a home or office with a few people with the same web/surfing habits. We are running up to 200 total mails per day M-F but I can not have any good ones getting canned. Here's one of my nifty links for figuring out spam. It is the "low-res" link 450k vs the hi-res 750k "who's sleeping with who".
