Spam Filtering

Posted in: Technology

After using SpamCop for the past few months with moderate success, I’m moving to bayespam and changing from POP3 to IMAP. After all the reading I’ve done on the subject, I’m excited to see how this works out. Once bayespam has learned about spam, we’re going to see if we can teach it to auto-organize our mail into folders as well - stay tuned for more on this, probably through a link to a friend’s site in the next few weeks. Now if SnapperMail would hurry up with the IMAP support, I’d be a really happy camper.

    Ever tried SpamAssassin? Works good, especially when combined with Razor.

    I’ve heard of it, but my friend set up bayespam since it was written specifically for qmail. It seems to be working nicely, I’ve got a lot of my mail up on the IMAP server now and the filtering seems to work well. The logical upgrade would be using something written in compiled code rather than PERL for performance reasons. That or I need to start excluding some folders from the index building - it takes a few minutes now.
