Antispam software

2006-03-12 Thread Peter Kerekes

Hello,

I use BayesIt! version 0.8.4 (by A.N. Vinogradov)for Spam filtering.
However I don't think it does anything. My ISP is using a spam filter,
so I don't get to many ( 6-12 daily) but BayesIt doesn't automatically
filters them to the spam folder.  I have to do it manually.

Probably my configuration is not correct. It is set: Average action,
move is set if score greater than 40. Both Blacklist rule and
White list rule are empty.

I checked some header on Spam info, 3 of them are here:

X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.1 tagged_above=-100.0 required=5.0
  tests=FORGED_RCVD_HELO
X-Spam-Level:

another:
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.6 tagged_above=-100.0 required=5.0
 tests=FORGED_RCVD_HELO, HTML_20_30, HTML_MESSAGE
X-Spam-Level: 

X-Spam-Status: No, hits=2.9 tagged_above=-100.0 required=5.0 tests=DCC_CHECK,
 HTML_40_50, HTML_MESSAGE, HTML_WEB_BUGS, MIME_HTML_ONLY, SPF_HELO_PASS,
 SPF_PASS, YOU_WON
X-Spam-Level: **


 Here are two headers for spams which I manually moved as spam:

X-Spam-Status: No, hits=2.1 tagged_above=-100.0 required=5.0
 tests=DATE_IN_PAST_24_48, RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL, RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL
X-Spam-Level: **
Status: 

X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.7 tagged_above=-100.0 required=5.0
 tests=DATE_IN_PAST_24_48, RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL, RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL,
 SPF_HELO_SOFTFAIL, URIBL_SBL
X-Spam-Level: ***
 
Would appreciate any suggestion where is my problem, or how to
configure  the White List and Black List Rule?

Or should I switch to Bayes Filter Plugin by Achim Winkler, is this
software better?

Thank you in advance

I've used Bayesit with some success after training.  While I found it
did filter some, it wasn't what I was used to (K9).  I've also used
Bayes Filter but had to change because of problems with TB being
default email. When clicking on a mailto TB would open several Edit
windows. Never could get that fixed.

I'm using AntispamSniper on my notebook and trialing on my desktop. It
has a better success rate after some training.  It's not free but but
seems to be doing a better job.

My 2cents worth...

I used BayesIt and it worked well enough considering the price g  I
am using Agava now and at $12 is a value that mostly works better than
BayesIt.  I have not used any of the intermediate programs like K9, so
cannot compare with those.
