I am also speaking of the same with its horrible results.
Interesting enough, I forwarded EVERYTHING to a gmail account.
They had better filtering.

pretty sure that may only be true if you were running their Imail
Secure version of Imail.

hi rmilner,
of course it will take 25+ years at 70 emails a day for 365
days to really conclusively prove this but... I have not had
a false positive in 6 months and no longer check my SPAM
folder - instead opting to just move to the Deleted Items
folder. The only false positives i've heard of anecdotally
are e-letters that the first time through (after signing up)
can look like spam.
i can share that there are some folks at Ipswitch who no
longer check their spam folder - spam is marked with a [s] in
the subject, routed by rules to Spam folder or in some cases
(me and others), moved directly to the deleted, sight unseen.
due to compliance reasons, some companies must keep all spam
and can't just do a straight delete, but for those who don't,
deleting is fine.
bye for now,
kg

Absolutely bogus figure and false advertising.
You think you guys would learn about misleading people here.
/SNIP/
that's essentially what we did for our (ipswitch)
corporate solution and we have seen false positives go to
1 in 500,000. updates occur as frequently as every 10
minutes (24x7x365) and we just don't have to deal with it
anymore.

Hi Dave and Lim,
I completely agree. Outsourcing or at least
implementing as a service where small, but frequent
incremental updates are delivered to your server in
near real-time and automatically makes sense given
the climate for spam (and viruses).

<miniplug> - customers who are running imail secure
server or ics premium have said that spam has all but
fallen off the radar as a time consumer - they seem
to be very happy with it. it catches spam in 30
languages with human editors also looking at it (one
in japan, one in england, 2 in US)</mini plug>

Hi, Lim-
If you have no tech support people, you probably
should outsource spam control. It's pretty much
hands-on to do it right.
Having said that, there are some gateway
products, and Declude interfaces directly into
IMail. Declude has gotten pretty expensive for
new users, though.

Hi ppl,
We're still using IMAIL 7.5 and I need help
in getting an affordable yet reliable SPAM
filter... (I hope there is such a thing).
Since we have 0 Tech support personnel.... I
am hoping for a user-friendly solution.
I know IMAIL has some sort of built-in SPAM
filter... but that works by manually
maintaining a filter LIST .. is that so?
(I am guessing here)
Again... we have 0 Tech support ppl.... so
noone is gonna maintain the list... which is
why I am hoping there is a solution
where by it retrieves/updates the filter list
automatically.. something like an anti-virus
program. Is this how SPAM filters
works? Or does it always need a tech guy/gal
to maintain it?
We are a small company... we dont have a lot
of emails (less than 1000 emails per day -
70% of them SPAM...)
Sorry if my question is too noob... I don't
have much tech resources to turn to. Any
help/info is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Lim.
