T> Besides of the above I would really appreciate some idea's for a good anti spam solution. T> I prefer proxy type of setups. T> I spend a lot of time with Baysian type of filtering but that T> didn't work out very well with the picture spam. T> I do prefer using those online anti-spam databases For online services, SpamPal works well with The Bat!, although the application itself hasn't been updated for more than a year. I expect the databases it refers to are updated regularly. The only reason I switched away from it was that access to the databases seemed to be slowing. You said you don't like the Baysian filters and I was of that same opinion for a long time. However, I started using the AntispamSniper plug-in for the The Bat! five or six months ago and have been very pleased. It is fast, easy to train and very reliable. It has been 98.6% accurate for the last four months, with only 0.2% false positives. If it wasn't for those darn spammers sending blank messages with .pdf spam attachments lately, I expect it would be well over 99% accurate. -- Code 2 :canadaflag: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Bat! version 2.12.00 on Windows XP Service Pack 2 Zurich hotel: Because of the impropriety of entertaining guests of the opposite sex in the bedroom, it is suggested that the lobby be used for this purpose. ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
