Re: [Declude.JunkMail] How accurate is spamcop

2004-04-28 Thread jcochran
Is it safe to simply delete an email flagged with spamcop? We weight SpamCop pretty high, but don't delete on it alone. We hold on 10, delete on 30, and give SpamCop a 12. We were deleting on 20, but as we tune the weights we find we need to bump that up to ensure we didn't push the filters

The easy answer to this is to use your own DNS servers -- if you do (and they are decent DNS servers; BIND is preferred), you won't be subject to the restrictions of ATT, Sprint, and others that block spam database lookups. Since we are running IMail (ie Windows) what is the
