I know how you feel Gene. Check out this pun I
posted to the beta group early in the program:
=================
Dear Vircom,
It is with much regret that I must inform
you we are considering leaving the Beta team.
There is only one reason that we are
considering leaving, and that being the strange timing associated with
spammers leaving the Internet.
We are confident that spammers left the
internet at the very moment we installed the beta, and base this on the
following facts:
Prior to installing the beta, my personal
mailbox was receiving up to 30 SPAM messages daily. Since installing
the beta, my personal email box receives 3 to 5 spam messages daily.
Ok, so this indicates that some of the
spammers are still out there sending their trash, but obviously the majority
of spammers have simply given up and quit sending this
trash.
Since our participation in the beta was
driven by the desire to control spam messages, and
Since 80 to 90 % of the spammers have
stopped spamming � we are wondering if there is any need to continue with the
beta?
Obviously, I�m joking � but the numbers
above are real. We have also seen our quarantine double in the number of
messages stored which indicates to me that the beta is catching twice as much
spam as the release version.
The new engine is doing a very good job.
