Myself, I thought it was more purple-like...
But seriously, folks, now my company's Pointy Haired Boss looking at the Websense usage reports thinks I'm looking at some kind of perverted "Java Porn".
I have been using M$FT's outlook for 3 years now, and I am not at all happy with it. It seems the rules I set up just don't work well.
How about, we write simple, easy to use, browser-based email software (with the Java-based back-end of course!) that will allow email filtering as it should be. Maybe put AI to work? I imagine something like: I see a message(s) I do not like, so I say: "block messages like these" So it should figure out junk domains (123.45.XXX, hotmail, yahoo, etc.) Correlate domain names with content features: gifs/jpeg/html content and encoding with certain keywords (bolding, enlarge, etc.) and block that address. Of course there should be some way to override this (always deliver messages from people in my address book). Always deliver messages that reply to my outgoing emails (how hard is that? ha?!!) always deliver messages with the good key words (position, software engineer, interview, etc.) So rather then classifying the email in separate folders, this software will be able to RANK the email based on your adaptive preferences, and give it a "Spam Score". So you can read the items near the top that maybe something good, then delete the rest. So the software learns more and more about your preferences every time you read the email.
Also, another good way to do this is kind of what web-sense is doing, i.e. have a central server farm that stores a database of spammer's addresses. If say 10 people delete the message from someone without reading it, the server remembers that this is a spam address and never delivers email from this address. Also, 1000 abuse alert emails with random text are immediately sent to their address, to let them know they are now marked as spammers, and if they wish to unmark themselves, they must do such and such (i.e. send us a check for $100).
So, who wants on this project?
Greg
