Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Question about Some Spam Tests

[Matt]

Yes, that would be a bad thing.  I expect SpamCop to have higher standards than SPEWS. If a test is 99.99% reliable, it's probably safe to hold on or at least score high.  If a test is 99% reliable, it's only safe to give a few points to, unless FP's have a high correlation with other tests, in which case the value is even lower or nonexistent. SpamCop is a very important test because it tags over 50% of the typical mail volume, however I'm not looking to support a crusade against AOL by blocking their E-mail.

Zombie or human, sending spam using AOL's servers is an AUP violation. Aggregating the mail at their servers obliges them to police their user base--whether that means cutting off live spammers or forcing/coaching their users through the reclamation of hijacked machines (maybe that'll become the most important part of their "Computer Check-Up" feature). They made their bed by getting every newbie on the planet, now they can lie in it. :) --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/download/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/Release/ --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
