AW: Spam Assassin
Hi, use it since a few months with postfix on woody out of the box. i got around 100 Spam hits for 30 Users in a week. less than 1% false positives. But still a spam get through. (1 to 5 mails per user and day) :/ At first i had to put some newsletter to the white list, but since then it just sits there an filters I noticed that any HTML Mails is a nearly sure hit... The thing i miss is a (more automagically) forward to razor. Won't miss it any more. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: martin f krafft [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Dienstag, 3.

Forward to Razor (Re: Spam Assassin)

Yeah, but one should be a bit careful about depending on any AI to forward to Razor. I've put up some troll boxes for that (including these addresses in web-pages, send them to Remove-lists, etc). Those go (will go, anyway) directly to Razor, as they will never receive legit email. However, what I really miss is a pine-style pipe in KMail, so that I could pipe messages getting through the filter manually to Razor more easily. But I know the KMail folks are thinking about it.

Re: Spam Assassin
I'm using Spamassassin, interfaced with exim to filter before delivery to local users. It works really well -- it catches 40-50% of incoming mail (for about 7 users total) as spam, with a false-positive rate of way less than 1%. I've seen a slight increase lately in spams that slip through, but typically my inbox gets three or four a day, which still isn't too bad. I dump all the suspected spam into a separate mailbox, which I check every couple of days by scanning the combination of subject line and sender. When I do that check, I may find one or two messages out of several hundred that I forward on as likely real email.
