For us sniffer has proven very effective for spam in general and specifically for adult spam. I find that virtually all adult content is caught by sniffer, well over 90%. Initially I only gave it a weight of 8, thus requiring another test to force it over 10 and trigger a hold. But I found quite a few porn emails only failed sniffer and so were still let through. So after testing a bit, I now give it a weight of 10, forcing a hold even if it only fails sniffer. I review all holds with spamreview and have very few false positives.
Yes, it could be argued that it is expensive at $300 per year. But that is less than $1.00 per day (actually only .82 :-) ) which is very cheap when you consider the issues and ramifications of adult spam in the corporate environment or in a family environment. It is also very effective on regular spam. I find I don't have a lot of time to maintain and alter filter lists, so this works well for me. Anyone else find this with sniffer?
