good question, i never used that ! seriously, i think that the approach in 2007 should be different that a few years ago. Right now spam is 80 (90?) % of all mail flow, and mostly comes from troyaned hosts. And the only 'report' address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] in order to have filtering issues investigated and solved. I return a 5xx, so the sender knows i did not receive his mail. > <quote marrco> > (how many ? assp is not only for small mail gateways) > </quote> > Ohhh sorry ducky, am I not big enough to be in your club? i'm not big at all, i don't manage million mailboxes, not even hundres of thousands. What i'm trying to tell is that some solutions simply don't scale. And that you need a critical mass to do some serious filtering. If i had a few dozen mailboxes to keep spamfree i'd delegate an external service, not waste a resource in house. Sorry, that's not a hobby, but part of $dayjob > <quote marrco> > There are no false positives (or at least very few <*snip*> > </quote> > Not *MY* experience. What's your filtering strategy ?. And show the false positives. Where they come from ?. Why you blocked them ? and, most important, what's your goal ? mine is to filter *MOST* of the spam with close to zero false positives. I've to be cost effective. Some other guys here are way better than me and filter almost all of the spam. But i don't know the cost and how many false positive they get. > <quote marrco> > And (if you don't use bayes) you won't have many false positives > </quote> > If you don't go fishing, you won't catch fish. i can't read blocked emails. i don't even collect them. I suppose my antivirus would collapse if it tryes to scan all the spam i receive That strategy doesn't scale if you have more than a few mailboxes ! We don't delete spam, we simply don't receive it and return a 55x. But i got notified when i 'wrongly' block some legit sender. In almost every case the block is due to some small business using a poorly managed in house mta. what's your experience ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
