In case it's of interest, I've been testing Cloudmark's SpamNet for a few months now. It's a neat system, in that it's based on a peer-to-peer network -- the guy who dreamed it up is one of the founders of Napster. The upside is that it really does filter out a lot of spam. You are part of a large network of other users (87,000+ as of today) who are collectively identifying and filtering spam. This means that you don't have to go through a repetitive and laborious process of creating your own filters. The downside is that SpamNet has a high rate of "false positives." You might be *very* surprised at the list of email newsletters that got automatically sent to my Spam folder. I wrote an article about my results (includes a list of the newsletters that got filtered out), which you can read at: http://www.imakenews.com/emailresults/e_article000084040.cfm --- Al Bredenberg Publisher, EmailResults.com http://www.emailresults.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ spamcon-general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.spamcon.org/mailman/listinfo/spamcon-general#subscribers Subscribe, unsubscribe, etc: Use the URL above or send "help" in body of message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Contact administrator: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
