I'm not suggesting DSPAM is capable of this for every user - and I am certain that I will receive some spam eventually to ruin my golden streak, as there are always new types of spams to learn. My wife doesn't get 100%; she's been getting around 99% until I tinkered with dictionary lately (she's one of my guinnea pigs)..and I've talked to some users who are only getting around 95%...please don't think I'm trying to suggest my solution is the end-all-be-all solution. But as for me, yes I'm getting 100% so far. > How can we get hold of yours? http://www.nuclearelephant.com/projects/dspam/ _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
