Chris, While CommTouch tags a lot of spam. For my system it has a VERY high false positive rate. It tages a lot of legitimate bulk email (home depot, martha stewart emails, USDA alerts and advisorys). Granted to some these may be spam, but I actually have users who (gasp) sign up for this stuff and expect it to be delivered.

picture spam if you use Commtouch.You can fiddle with filters, weights and
false positives if you'd like.  I have been an advocate of Commtouch since
we starting using it, matter of fact I have yet to get two pieces of spam
since we started using the Gateway w/Commtouch combo.  In four months I have
seen just one false positive. Just my observation though!! Chris _____

Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] picture spam Sorbs-DUL and NJABL Dynablock look to be the best. Although they miss lots. 5-10's has been discontinued. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Marchette To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 3:53 PM Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] picture spam
Thanks all for the various suggestions.  Agreed- combo is the way to use
that test, for sure.  A bit OT, but what is the popular and accurate DUL
database these days? How accurate is fiveten at DUL lookups?

2.  bad language (eastern European iso-8859-2) or Cyrillic (koi8-r or
iso-8859-5), etc 3. cmdspace 4. good DUL IP lists/tests 5. having forged your local domain. I still get 5-10 a day. It is a pain. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Marchette To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 12:08 PM Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] picture spam
Has anyone figured out a reasonable way to use Declude to minimize picture
spam?  Sniffer is missing most.  They are sent from fresh hosts, so RBL's
don't catch them, and there is no target, so INVuribl misses them as well.
Associates of ours are using Barracuda to stop most successfully, so it is
at least possible. Ideas are welcomed. Dave
