RE: [Declude.JunkMail] November 2003 Spam Statistics
Here are the stats for Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday we were testing some things the stats were skewed. This was for our main solidoak.com domain mail server (general business, not tech support). Our tech support server lets more spam through, however we can only do limited header type spam checking because of the type of content the message bodies might contain. People are reporting porno web sites all the time to our CYBERsitter support accounts. For Tuesday, there was 1 false positive (Delivery Req) and 4 spams that got through. So with 5139 incoming connection requests, and 4 spams that got through, it was 99.92% effective. At least for that day ;) Some days we don't get any spam, but on bad days as many as 20 may get by. Rarely does any single user get more than 1. But as you might guess, this level is not much to test with. The first set of stats (Alligate Statistics) are from the filtering module that is similar to the Declude version and will (eventually) be identical. The second set of stats (Alligate SMTP Daily Statistics) is an overall summary of delivery. A lot of spam is stopped at the "front door" by the SMTP servive using the tarpitting and dictionary attack defense mechanisms among others.

For those of us who use the Declude version of Alligate (alongside Sniffer) we hope that's soon! It is great having two full-featured engines that let us rest comfortably if we delete e-mail without inspection. If both engines agree that something is spam, it is probably spam!

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] November 2003 Spam Statistics
Actually what Chris was *supposed* to say was that the gateway version of Alligate does a much better job than the Declude version, not Declude itself. The Declude version is now outdated and had not been updated for several months. The Declude version was not dumped however it is not currently available. We won't offer something for sale unless it is the best we can do. We got in a couple of new copies of IMail last week so we can set up new test platforms. We have been unable to test the Declude version because our gateway now handles all incoming mail and there is no spam coming into our mail servers to test. The new test platforms will allow us to move some domains out of the normal loop and we will be able to update the Declude version again (shortly we hope).

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] November 2003 Spam Statistics
I *believe* I spoke to Chris. If it wasn't "dump" it was "drop". I didn't interpret this as negative statement, just friendly marketing or another opinion among many. I don't think Chris intended this as a put down. Just an opinion on a competing product. You'd hardly expect the person answering the sales line to say anything else. What I am certain about was that I was told that Alligate would do a better job (albeit as its own Gateway) than Declude at blocking spam. If I've offended or misunderstood anyone, please feel free to correct me. Thanks, Burzin t 03:51 PM 12/4/2003, you wrote: Was the exact phrase Dump Declude used? If so, who did you speak with?

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] November 2003 Spam Statistics
Is SpamManager the Alligate product? I'm just curious, because I made an inquiry to them a few months ago, and they told me they discontinued the Declude plugin version and they were reorganizing their product line. I called them today suggested dumping Declude in favor of their product. Did I understand this correctly?
