HI everyone! A new version of Message Sniffer is available. The most exciting new feature for this version is: Strangers.
The "Strangers" algorithm replaces the previous White-Guard algorithm. Strangers prevents high-intensity pre-tested spam from poisoning IP reputations in GBUdb and enhances SNF's sensitivity to these kinds of attacks. Once pattern rules begin to match the pre-tested attack the IP reputations quickly climb into the black enhancing all of SNF's learning systems. Normal, but new, IP sources are held to low-confidence reputations for several hours, but after that are allowed to develop normally. Short summary: Strangers lets SNF close the door more quickly on pre-tested spam while enhancing SNF's learning sensitivity to those events and without interfering with normal IP reputation processing.
