Hi Martin. I do check for FP (although my spam rate is much lower than many on this list) as they come in. However, I only check emails tagged between 5.0 and 10.0. Anything above 10.0 is automatically fed to bayes and archived. I'd say about 1 in 10 spam are tagged between 5.0 and 10.0 the other 9.99 are >= 10.0 and probably less than one per month actually hit my inbox. Here is what contributes to my scores in order of effectiveness: well trained bayes DB, sender RBL lookups, Distributed checksums, 3rd party rulesets, custom rules, URL RBL lookups. > Or are you just waiting for people to call you looking for that mail that > never came through? :) -- Chris Thielen Easily generate SpamAssassin rules to catch obfuscated spam phrases (0BFU$C/\TED SPA/\/\ P|-|RA$ES): http://www.sandgnat.com/cmos/
