The Bat's filters, particularly when allowing those in your address book, can isolate all spam. The downside is that mail from new contacts will end up in the spam folder. I found that I still had to look at the spam in order to sift out wanted mail. Currently I am using SpamPal with the Bayesian plug-in available here: http://www.spampal.org/ It matches against DNSBL lists (you can pick which ones) and in conjunction with the plug-in catches almost all the spam, while allowing new mail through. It seems to be a better arrangement for me than using Bat filters exclusively. The Bayesian filter is trainable and after a short time I'd say it catches 99% of the spam. I average between 35-40 spam messages/day, so this freeware tool is quite helpful to me. Like you, I do report all spam to SpamCop. I don't know why. It doesn't cut down on the amount of spam, but somehow I feel better doing something. :) - -- Kevin Coates Dewitt, NY USA Using TB! v1.63 Beta/11 under Windows XP 5.1.2600 SP1 ________________________________________________________________ . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQE/CDz9RbTFvUNHmLkRAiRbAJ9UgnpWMP53XZWGF3w/q4Gz067SegCgo��d0 xcc2pbm5UzxTWbXgv46+OZ4= =gS+L -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
