Since tweaking what types of spam get put into the spam corpus, configuring all of the nearly failsafe tests to be added, I have had an enormous increase in the accuracy of the Bayesian filter. Since I adjusted it in September, I went from 100+ missed spam submissions and 30+ false positives a day to only 2-5 missed and 1-2 false. Considering that is out of 40k+ spam caught every week, Bayesian is the sh*t. FWIW.

Thats the real magic behind effective spam blocking in the last 2 years. Bayesian filtering. Hmmm.. 0,0000001 % false positives ? Not in my experience. but assp is great because it has so much to offer for any filtering strategy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
