I can not agree here. German spams are not catched at all. Without additional rules german spam comes through unfiltered. We use the excellent german ruleset http://www.exit0.us/index.php/GermanRules with some additions and corrections. You also want to catch the stupid 'virus has been removed messages' for netsky and friends. See http://www.exit0.us/index.php/RulesDuJour. Additionally we experienced that the bayesian filter slows down after ~ 1000000 mails and gets ineffective, especially for english business mails. There needs to be a way to use autotraining and clean up old stuff. Maybe I should RTFM :-) The RBL's are the most important thing to use. And the second thing we use is a list of spam advertized sites collected by ourself. Currently we have 7500 sites in there. -- Martin _______________________________________________ swinog mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.init7.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog
