I have one external email account that receives some spam on a host that is not using ASSP. I'm not an admin on this network and using Spam Assassin on this box. SA has also been a very successful solution until recently. Lately there have been emails coming in that are not typical spam, but have quite legitimate text, looking much similar to a normal email conversation, but what I still consider spam. I also received one such email where the majority of the text was pasted from the GNU Public License. I'm wondering if this is a new initiative by the spammers trying to corrupt the bayesian databases. I know also many commercial grade anti spam solutions have had some troubles lately with certain kinds of spam.
ASSP seems to do it's job excellently and classifies these emails as spam (as it normally should: it *is* after all spam). But I'm fearing that over time and given enough of these spam emails the bayesian spam-database might be weighted in a way that can block normal legal email. ASSP still seems to be the ultimate antispam product! :) Lars ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
