This
is great for sharing and thank you. Is anyone interested in
sharing their global.cfg and white/black list files and strategies
that are working well for them. I feel overwhelmed these days keeping up the
spam battle as mail server admin and all the other daily chores I am
responsible. We handle a lot of religious and family oriented sites and cannot
slack on our Spam control.
A few
days ago, I finally bit the bullet and subscribed to sortmonster's sniffer.
Hoping the $300/yr will decrease my Spam review time spent each day. I
thought I was doing a pretty good job of eliminating spam - until I put a hold
for review on all caught by the sniffer filter. Basically
I discovered that we are only stopping about 1/2 of the Spam
hitting our server. Some confirmed Spam I reviewed failed no other tests
other than sniffer. Now I am trying to figure out how to revise my
weighting so I do not have so much to review in the hold folder. We have
weight of 20 for hold and 30 for delete. We run about 18 filters all weighted. I
want more deletes and less to review in the hold folder daily! Sniffer is
picking up a lot of false positives too and I know I need to get reporting with
them and taking advantage of their custom config files for my license. I use
Tom's updated list ongoing for our blacklist from file and it is a big
help.
Is
anyone willing to share their global.cfg who are using sniffer, weighting,
and their effective black and white lists that is working out well for
them? You can e-mail me off list [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Thanks.

Hi;
In case you are
interested, we have created a simple Access database that contains all of our
entries in for our fromfile and filter files.
Since it is all in
the database we thought we can simply replicate it with the web site and provide
it to all to use or consider.

The
categories are all separated since we have a different file for each filter
type.
Just
for the records: We hold on weight 20 so all weights are based on this
weight.
FreeeMail list - should not be used as a blacklist but
a weight list. We add 5 to this list. This list does not contain
Hotmail.com or Yahoo.com. It has other (Yahoo.com.tw)
domains.
Hope it
helps...
Regards,
Kami
