[Declude.JunkMail] yahoo as spam

2003-06-03 Thread andyb
 Hi,

 I have a customer, she is sending email from her yahoo account to her
email
 address here.  It is being caught as spam, as per included log entries.

 Good ole yahoo, not RFC compliant as the postmaster and abuse email
 addresses.

 I have also included my config files.  This config has worked very well in
 the past, almost no false positives and catching approx 85% of all spam.
 Comments for improvement, please.

 Thanks, Andy

Catching almost no FP with holding at 10? I don't think so. 

Anything coming from Yahoo.com will then automatically be at half of your
hold weight.

This is a known problem with Yahoo.

Couple of recommendations. 
Change your weighting setup.
Setup a white filter.
User another external program to help whitelist. (Sorry, cheap plug.)
Adjust your weights.
Setup a grey filter.
Etc.

Also, SpamCop has been discussed a couple of times in IMO does not warrant a
HOLD.

Personally, I do not use FIVTENSCR.

 Lets  just  hope  John  adds  a  global whitelist.. If one person is
 talking  to  a  client  then  others should also be as easily get an
 email  from  that client- regardless of their level of communication
 with him/her.

While effective in low-traffic environments, wouldn't this potentially
create  a  *huge*  and  resource-hungry whitelist? When every outgoing
e-mail  requires  the  updating  of  a single file, and every incoming
e-mail  requires  the  scanning  of  that  same  file...ugh.  And  the
alternative,  the  scanning  of  (potentially) every user's individual
AutoWhite  file  on  incoming, while faster on outgoing, would also be
ugh-worthy.

Perhaps there's a more advanced logic that could be employed, though.

Sany... You are right..

Did not think about it..

But lets take the opposite side.. Just for kicks..

If mathematically we know that more than 50% .. (if not more) of all emails
are spam.. Would that mathematically not be to our benefit.

It somehow seems that having a database of legit emails is faster than
illegitmate emails now that the tilt is on bad emails.

But you are right.. It is huge.
