Spamassassin Beats CRM-114 In Anti-Spam Shootout

Simon Lyall writes "A new study of antispam software shows that Spamassassin performed well in various configurations along with Spamprobe , Bogofilter and Spambayes also came out good while CRM-114 failed to live up to its previous claims . The study shows: 'The best-performing filters reduced the volume of incoming spam from about 150 messages per day to about 2 messages per day.'"

You don't want to face an assassin in a shootout. Maybe a pie eating contest, or a spelling bee... but not a shootout.

Remember, an email being classified as spam is sujective. For example, you might consider a message from a Nigerian bank manager spam, but I may consider it a way to pay of the house :)

Or, presonally I consider all email I get with the from hotmail.com is spam. But that is my opinion.

OT: btw, a friend at work actually got a Nigerian scam letter in the post. Because it was not email, he thought it was real.

#!/bin/sh
rm -f /var/spool/mail/$USER

Who needs email.

Of course, the grandparent could be a Nigerian bank manager, making you both correct.

How come I have an @hotmail.com email for 4+ years (pre-MSN) and I only get 15 junk mails a week?

Because the 15 junk mails put you over quota?
