--- Comment #6 from Bill Cole <billc...@apache.org> --- (In reply to nehav from comment #5) > Hello Bill, I want to follow up on the ticket. Would you mind sharing the > outcome of the test results for .online, .site and .fun? .online and .fun are still consistently running above 95% spam. .site is an interesting case. It is NOT consistent from day to day or across all data sources, and the noise pattern implies that a broader sample would make it even less useful. I have removed it from the 'suspicious' TLD lists. I have also removed .xyz, another one that I have been watching which seems to have gotten much less spammy in recent months. The relevant change in SVN is r1907241. > We are worried that > .online might still be seeing high volumes of spam. My team and I are still > figuring out what we can do to control it. Perversely, the most likely way for the stats we use to improve would be if more entirely organic, unquestionably non-spam mail used the TLD. > Right now, we are in the middle > of performing a few tests ourselves.

I think that everyone helping maintain SA understands that this is a hard problem, and that we don't have any brilliant insights on how to solve it. You may find useful ideas from the broader audience of our users' mailing list (See https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPAMASSASSIN/mailinglists) or from the wider email community in a forum like the MailOp list at https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
