[MacGroup] Junk Mail
I'm using Apple's Mail 6.6 on a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 running Mac OS X 10.8.5. My problem is with junk mail. I recently stopped using Win.net's junk mail filtering service. It went bonkers for a few days and was filtering out just about everything including replies to my messages. Going through Win.net's junk filtering looking for important messages is SO SLOW that I decided it was a lot faster and easier to simply use Mail. Just hope I can improve it a bit. In Mail's PreferencesJunk Mail I have the following checked: Enable junk mail filtering Move it to the junk mailbox exempt: Sender of message is in my Contacts Sender of message is in my Previous Recipients Message is addressed using my full name Also: Trust junk mail headers in messages The junk mail filter doesn't seem to be filtering out much. Is there something else I should be doing? I vaugely remember something about training the junk mail filter. Does that process still exist? Thanks for any help.

When you read mail, you should be identifying stuff you consider to be junk by flagging it with the menu item 'MessageMarkAs Junk Mail'. When you do this, the email is moved to the Junk mailbox and the filter is taught about what you consider to be junk mail. Over a few weeks, it will slowly get better about automatically flagging junk. ___ MacGroup mailing list MacGroup@erdos.math.louisville.edu http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup
Re: [MacGroup] Junk Mail
This is true, but even with assiduous training Mail does not do a very good job of filtering out junk email if you really get bombarded with it, as I do. I highly recommend SpamSieve for more robust filtering. http://spamsieve.en.softonic.com/mac Sent from my iPad On Jul 5, 2014, at 11:49 AM, Lee Larson leelar...@me.com wrote: Anne Cartwright cartw...@aye.net asked: The junk mail filter doesn't seem to be filtering out much.

OK. That's what I'm doing; I guess Mil just needs more time. Thanks.

[MacGroup] Measuring Intellectual level of an article
Not sure how to ask this correctly. Is there a Mac software that will scan an article, PDF, etc determine the level of intellect of the article? Any ideas would be appreciated. John.

MS Word is able to run a Flesch–Kincaid readability test. Check the Wiki article and see if this will help you.

Thanks Brian, exactly the kind of program I am needing, but would like a stand alone rather than inside Microsoft if it's out there.
