[Declude.JunkMail] Spam tests by months

[Scott Fisher]

I've compiled my spam test results over the last year to look at test effectiveness trends.   If anyone is interested I've posted them on my website. I've never really seen test effectiveness trended over a year period anywhere else.   All tests spam vs. ham based on all emails. http://it.farmprogress.com/declude/Testsbymonth.html Spam tests based on all spam emails. http://it.farmprogress.com/declude/spamtestbymonth.html Ham tests based on all ham emails. http://it.farmprogress.com/declude/hamtestsbymonth.html   Warning these are large HTML files.   Some examples: Spamcop triggered on 83% of my Feb 2004 spam emails and has downward trended to 57% of my January 2005 spam emails. Message Sniffer has stayed at 95-96% detection of all spam emails from June 2004 to Jan 2005.
