Dealing with the 1-in-100 Type II errors and the 2-in-100 Type I errors in the 1000 is what much of the "automatic processing" is for. > then you need different/better anti-spam tools. Suggestions are welcome. Most of the problematic mail is in Japanese or Chinese however, and I don't know any tools (including GMail which throws up false positives in my spam folder about once a week) that get 2- or 3-sigma performance on those languages, at least not in my multilingual context. So I quarantine, and do a lot of tweaking of packaged tools and postprocessing myself. At least some commercial tools for Japanese are really horrible -- about once a week I get mail from a colleague that is marked as "spam" or "suspected spam" by my *employer*'s filters, and traffic on this list gets marked that way about as often. :-( _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
