This is a mail I've got: ****************** It’s one fault, IMO, is that it assumes everyone agrees what is spam and what is not. That is where I find most people end up with false positives or negatives. For instance, todayI had a user submit over 60 items tagged as spam to our whitelist. I gave him a call assuming that he MUST be confused and sending it to the wrong place. Nope, he wants them all whitelisted.. Stuff that would DEFINITELY be junk to anyone else.... “Free oil change at jiffy lube w/ tuneup!”. “Dunkin’ Donuts coffee special!”. I’m inclined to add the idiot to spamlovers, however he is a director in our organization so If he started getting spam and submitting to ‘assp-spam’ didn’t do anything for him, I’d have to answer for that to the directory of my IT department. When review time comes around that isn’t something I want stuck in my director’s head;)
It kinda drives me nuts. ****************** Thomas Von: "GrayHat" <gray...@gmx.net> An: "ASSP development mailing list" <assp-test@lists.sourceforge.net> Datum: 03.05.2010 16:02 Betreff: Re: [Assp-test] test for personal whitelist wanted > There is a major change in the code that uses a personal Whitelist, > which works as follows: Thomas... it's fine, but adds a lot of overhead imVVVVHo; it would suffice knowing "who" added a given entry to the whitelits so that, in case a client box gets crazy (for whatever reason) it will be easy to track the offender and clean up the whitelist; sure, having a "personal wl" may be cool, but it may literally waste a lot of resources and at end won't give so much benefits; it would be a better idea (imHo btw) having the ability to track who added a given address to the WL *and* optionally having a personal BLACKlist (not a whitelist) so that in case someone doesn't want to receive some messages (s)he may just add a given sender to his/her personal BL (which will probably be smaller) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Assp-test mailing list Assp-test@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/assp-test DISCLAIMER: ******************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it may be confidential, legally privileged and protected in law and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
