I don't use the HOLD action, except for one test
(Percent). I Delete on weight20, tag the subject "Possible Spam" on
weight14.
I initially Deleted on Weight30. Then dropped
it to Weight25. Then we did a Hold on Weight20 for just a couple days and
found very few false-positives (and those were mostly mailing lists), so changed
the Delete to Weight20.
I have changed the test weights a bit from the
default shipped configuration.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] "Held" Spam
Management
Hello, Everyone,
First let me say thanks to all who
responded to my e-mails late yesterday.
It helped clarify things for me
regarding SPAMDOMAINS and also alternatives
to "per domain"
whitelisting.
On a separate topic, I'm curious to know how everyone
handles the spam which
makes it into the "imail\spool\spam"
directory. My current implementation
of Declude JunkMail Pro is
enabled for only 5 domains. A couple of those
domains have only been
active for a week. We have about 100 domains on our
IMail server so I
can't imagine what it's going to be like when I roll this
out on a large
scale.
It's been 45 days since we bought our copy of Declude JunkMail
and so far we
have accumulated 23,236 files in the "spam" directory.
Am I correct that
each message that was caught has 2 files representing it,
i.e. 23,236 files
is actually 23,236 / 2 = 11,618 spam message
caught?
Assuming that's right it looks like we're holding about 258
spams a day.
Which I'm sure is not much compared to some out there.
Unfortunately I
don't have time to monitor the "spam" directory every day
so if a few days
go by for me then wading through all of those messages to
check for false
positives becomes quite a chore. And like I said this
is only for 5
domains.
I guess, what I'm looking for is hints for
handling all of the files which
are filtered out by DJM? I've been
using Spam Manager to peruse the "spam"
directory. I'm also planning
on setting up a clean-up task which will
delete any files older than 90
days just so my hard drive doesn't fill up.
I'm guessing that one route I
could take is to take a "DELETE" action on
spam which has a particularly
high weight. Given the DJM default weight is
there any weight which
people have decided is a good "DELETE" weight. Is
there anything else
I'm not thinking of?
Thanks In
Advance,
Dan
