The Question:
Can anyone recommend antispam software that works under XP with
Thunderbird? Thunderbird Baysean spam detection isn't effective against
spam that has advertisements in an embedded image.
I use Verizon DSL. This is the only high speed internt available to me.
Their antispam feature has about 20% false positives. I turned it off,
and receive only a little more spam than when I was using it.
Ideally, I would like to have software that has a white list, initially
populated from my address book; a black list, initially populated from
the national known spammer database; that will challenge email senders
who are not in the white list; that has Baysean spam detection and scans
images to detect spam.
Any advice other than use one of the Debian based Linux distros with
Spam Assassin?
There may be my answer. While waiting for an answer, I'll look for a
version of Spam Assassin that works under Windows.
I am aware this is off the topic of OpenOffice.org, which I use
exclusively, and I strongly advocate. Some of you know more about this
than I ever will, so... If any object to this, by all means, send
flames. However, any answer, even a link to a place that might provide
an answer, that will be gratefully and appreciatively received.
Warmest Regards

Some suggestions...
1) http://kb.mozillazine.org/Junk_Mail_Controls#Image_Spam
2) a filter
Content-type contains multipart/related +
From "isnt in my address..." [your main address book] +
From "isnt in my address..." (repeat for other adr bks)
"Move message to" "junk on local folders" +
"set junk status to" junk
3) Install the Spamato TB extension (and disable the inbuilt TB filter).
After training this detects >99% of spam (including the image spam)
and had very few false positives.
