Re: [opensuse] to spamassassin or not to spamassassin

Hi,

Spamassassin (SA) has been a nice anti-spam for years but as some of you 
already said, it gives a lot of false positives...

Some time ago I found DSPAM (http://dspam.nuclearelephant.com/) which, by now, 
I find to be better than SA.


HTH,
Martin

Spamasassin has brought about a lot of false positives in my use with Kmail ( 
I may be doing something wrong), but bogofilter produces almost no false 
positives and gets rid the spam - you also get a bluey whiteness with your 
whites.

False positives?

Nonsense.

Spamassassin consistently out performs EVERY other spam solution out there.

Not a single one on my system. You have to train it correctly.

One point about SpamAssassin is that you can easily tune it by adjusting
the scoring threshold.  Lowering it means more false positives and fewer
false negatives.  Raising it means fewer false positives and more false
negatives.  The default is 5, and I see very few false positives with
that setting.

 - because the filters at Gmail are rather good, perhaps there are 
points in favor . . . for just using Gmail ?


best wishes
