Re: [Declude.Virus] Message Sniffer Confidence

the only problem I see with Sniffer is that it is triggered for many of the legitimate e-newsletters that are received by myself or our clientele - this has caused a number of whitelist options.... outside of this, Sniffer has been right on target   Sincerely,   Randy Armbrecht Global Web Solutions�, Inc. 804-346-5300 x102 877-800-GLOBAL (4562) x102 ----- Original Message ----- From: John Shacklett To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 12:19 PM Subject: RE: [Declude.Virus] Message Sniffer Confidence I have Sniffer set high enough to trigger my hold level all by itself, and Sniffer plus six more points variously defined is enough to delete.

Davenport Sent: Friday, 08 November 2002 12:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.Virus] Message Sniffer Confidence So, after seeing the last 2 months that message sniffer is around 90% accurate, what confidence has everyone put in it?  We offer our clients 2 levels of SPAM blocking.  Regular (using a WEIGHT20) and Aggressive (using a WEIGHT10).  Because we're an ISP, we have to be really careful about deleting legitimate email.    We purchased Message Sniffer and implemented it and it is catching a bunch of messages, but the default weight is 7.  With the percentage as high as it is, I'd like to give it a 17 so that if a message fails it plus 1 other test, it'll fail the regular test.  Need I be that cautious?   Just looking for feedback from other users of Sniffer.   Trent ----------- Trent M.
