Thanks, I generally have no idea when TMDA appears in an article unless someone tells me. I'll respond a bit to the article's criticism of TMDA. For one, it says: ``It wouldn't work if everyone did it'' but doesn't explain why. What could the author mean by this? It also says: ``and it may cause some of your correspondents to just give up without confirming that they are human, effectively causing false positives.'' Those who have used TMDA for a period of time know this is a misconception, but even if it wasn't; I'm more comfortable with this than a classifier which accidentally trashes a message it "thinks" is spam. At least with TMDA, the sender has the choice whether or not to let his message be delivered to you. With a classifier, he will assume it has been delivered when it has not been, creating a communications rift. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
