Re: [opensuse] Re: HI-JACKED THREAD, was: dictionary attacks / [$HOME NFS-mounted]

2007-07-19 Thread Clayton

I always get problems with gmail webmail, because it sorts conversations
incorrectly. For instance, someone changes the subject, and it breaks.


Mmm ya it can do that... I use GMail mainly for the openSUSE mailing
lists, and generally speaking I can't think of many times that this
happens.



Every time I look there I find list mail clasified as spam, needing to be
manually unclasified.

My SpamAssassin never clasifies list mail incorrectly.


That is really strange because That rarely ever happens to me.  When I
clean out the spam bucket, I rarely find list mail in there.. maybe
one every 3 or 4 months at most.  You would think that this hit/miss
rate should be the same for everyone since the config isn't different
between users.. or is it?

How do you configure or train your SpamAssassin in Linux?  I take the
default route by enabling it in KMail and then pushing a whack of spam
through the filter... it kind of works, but I still get 5 to 10 emails
per day arrive in my inbox that are clearly spam, and should be caught
by the spam filter (oddly they don't appear any different than other
emails the filter caught in the same day)... this is out of 3 or 400
spam per week.  not a high volume compared to some people.  I haven't
really looked deeper into SpamAssassin maybe I should...
especially if I can adjust it to get a better hit rate.

Perhaps because I compare how I see the treads in Pine and how I see them 
in gmail.

It must be the spam training that differs. Today I looked and the spam 
folder did not contain list email, but it did have two incorrect mails in 
there.

I configure it manually (fetchmail, postfix, procmail, spamd...). I train 
it now and then with thousands of emails from my folders (both good and 
spam). I even write some rules for SA.

 Sorry, i don't see it as part of another thread from GMail.

Then change your mail client. The gmail webmail is broken in this respect
(and others).


U.. I use GMail and I see all the threads.  They are called
Conversations in GMail speak, but they are the same thing.  The only
thing that GMail does poorly is it doesn't handle mailing lists
nicely... so you have to remember to fix the To: address whenever
you reply to a message.

No, gmail threads on the Subject: line and knows nothing about
Message-ID:s or In-Reply-To: headers and thus, does not do proper
threading.

one of the things GMail does poorly.

 is it doesn't handle mailing lists nicely... so you have to remember
 to fix the To: address whenever you reply to a message.

But it does reduce spam respectably  :^)

OK, I'll give you that one :-)  But I have to say that 99% of the
time, I have no issues with threading in GMail.  It groups almost
all threads properly... even if it is grouping on subject.

Definitely... which is one of the major reasons I use it on mailing
lists.  I rarely see spam filtered incorrectly with GMail.  I wish I
could get results this good on my main email account.  There I use
SpamAssassin (also used Bogofilter for a while) in KMail which catches
a good portion of the spam, but definitely not with the accuracy and
reliability of the GMail filter.
