67 SPAMs are 5-9.99 points,
OK, for a record with regards to spam and ham I have had four come
through between 5 and 7.99 points out of about 1600 messages in my
personal mail buckets. Two were from "always-on" which I signed up
for when Powell the Younger was the FCC commissioner pushing BPL.
As a ham radio operator I had a rather strong interest in opposition
to this critter. I more or less abandoned the account and let the
Tony Perkins email fall into the spam box. I finally got motivated
to remove that today. One other was from a mailing list some dweeb
spammed the list saying he could not read some other dweeb's base64
email. It was marginal. But it being marked as spam gave me a chance
to send a private email jab back to the first dweeb about his message
being spam. That leaves one real spam and no hams in the 5.0 to 7.99
wasteland. I have five messages between 8.0 and 10 inclusive. One is
from my local congressman. I figure if I include his junk phone calls
in my phone spam complaints (to him) the email should also be spam. I
doubt I'll white list him. He and I don't agree much. I am much too
libertarian for his Republican stance. If he'd start lecturing about
people being responsible for themselves and their own actions I might
be moved to white list him. But that's neither here nor there. The
wasteland concept is working.
And during this period no real ham has gotten a BAYES_99 rule hit.
But the sample's still a little small to say anything solid about
the 0.5% theoretical false alarm ratio, yet - maybe - if I stretch
it a little.
