I doubt the accuracy of these tests if our own experience is anything to go by.
We use GFI and I found version 8 to be blocking approx 13% weekdays and 28% at weekends of our incoming mail and the new version 9 (with the intelligent bayesian filter) blocks 23% weekdays and 62% at weekends. It does take a bit of work to build up the keyword list but seems pretty good to me, although I don't know how much spam is getting passed the filter. False-positives are less than 1% (and are mainly people sending remote images which is not something we encouraged even if the message is innocent). > -----Original Message----- > From: Woodruff, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 28 October 2003 17:13 > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: SPAM filtering on a budget > > > http://www.nwfusion.com/reviews/2003/0915spam.html > > > Here is how well they work in production.
