Yes, but without a good mechanism to report false positives, the best spam filter in the world isn't very good. The only way to do this on Gmail is to plow through the Spam folder. I get hundreds of spam every day at my gmail.com address. It's better when you have periodic reports that you can check, rather than check the messages themselves. For instance, I use XWall at my job (http://www.xwall.net/), which has a partner product called ESATInformer, which generates spam reports that are emailed to the recipients. You can see a screenshot here: http://www.esatinformer.com/Details/esat%20user%20report%20july31.htm Each spam is weighted by the number of filters that catch it, that's the number at the far left. I don't even bother with anything over 3 filters. It takes me only seconds to scan a report. I click on the 'R' icon, which generates a retrieve command, and the ham message is sent to me. > Does anyone have experience with Postini (now owned by Google)? You do. That's what Google is using to filter for Gmail. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
