Well everyone's needs are different. I have sniffer set with weight 20 I have all other tests set with weight 10 Except badheaders/spamheaders are weight 6 And I removed 'nopostmaster' 'noabuse' and 'revdns' alltogether.
I "Personally" send to my "spam mailbox" at weight 1 (any test). Things such as some of my newsletters get caught, so I just built exceptions for them. Most of my users send to "spam mailbox" at weight 16 (sniffer alone, OR at least 2 other tests) I think I usually send about 1 false positive per month to sortmonster(sniffer), and they always QUICKLY respond and remove the offending rule. Again, different systems receive different JunkMail and have different needs. For kicks I send anything caught by sniffer to one folder and everything it missed (but caught by declude) to another, then I reverse that sometimes. I think its around 5% of junkmail caught by declude made it though sniffer alltogether ( less than 1% makes it to my inbox). Something around 30% of my junkmail makes it through declude and is caught by sniffer however. -----Original Message----- From: Danny Klopfer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2002 11:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] School system needs advice I'm curious as to what weight you are setting sniffer at? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tom Baker | Netsmith Inc Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2002 2:39 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] School system needs advice Double that. Using declude + sniffer I have not seen a piece of porn get through. Only rarely do I see any spam get through. I would highly suggestion getting sniffer, as much (adult + non-adult) spam often passes all HEADER checks (which is what declude does alone), so you must rely on something that checks the message body (sniffer). Well worth the $$$! (try their Free Demo to get a glimpse of what it does. Keep in mind you are using old body definitions with their demo, and they give almost daily updates once you register). -----Original Message----- From: Sheldon Koehler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2002 4:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] School system needs advice > I need good suggestions, both general and specific. Spam is always going to get through at one time or another. BUT, we have had success adding Sniffer (www.sortmonster.com) into the Declude Junkmail mix. Our local competition uses Postini and the amount of spam that gets by that over priced service is incredible. I have a friend who's work place uses them and he laughs at the amount of spam he does not have to see our service. We also have an IMGate box (http://imgate.meiway.com) as our first line of defense. By doing all of the above, our spam level is very low. I am always tweaking the settings and spend more time on it than I would like. As an ISP, I have to be more open to some of the known junk places for our users that like getting coupons and junk on a daily basis. As a school district, you will be able to get away with rejecting EVERYTHING Sniffer wants to reject. newsletters included as they are not related to school needs. And Sniffer seems to do a great job at catching porno spam!!!
