|Calculate it ho you want: Spam defense works! |The question is how good it works without public available |spam blacklists. I think pretty well... (I'm biased). Scott publishes monthly statistics on capture rates from his spam traps. A number of tests in those statistics don't use any RBLs. I know that Message Sniffer doesn't, for example, and consistently posts well into the 90s for capture rate. False positives are reported as being very low (I know this is our internal experience) - particularly after some tuning. We publish statistics on the number of false positives that are reported to us. These numbers aren't a perfect representation but they do look pretty good: http://www.sortmonster.com/MessageSniffer/Performance/FalseReportsRates. jsp Also, naïve Bayesian systems, when applied at a specific mailbox, are reported to work very well. I'm sure that even if all DNSBLs went away the other systems available would remain quite effective. I'm also sure that more robust distributed / collaborative systems are on the way which won't be susceptible to ddos attacks. _M --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
