Spam Emails

I started blocking spam to the CRC server at about 13:00 today, and so far the software has blocked 1724 emails as spam.



No wonder I got fed up downloading email

Re: Spam Emails

I know... Been hanging around the Internet for more than 10 years now and I don't want to change my email address. I'm using spam filters based on Bayesian algorithm, regular expressions based blacklist and a DNS black hole list. I got 96.15% accuracy for the last 155 days. 2869 mails processed (average 19/day), 1396 (48.66%) good, 1473 (51.34%) spam! It’s ridiculous; I’m getting more spam than real mails! What a waste of time and bandwidth!

Re: Spam Emails

Yep, I used to use a combination of mailwasher, inboxer, then went to a boxtrapper system, but have now decided to stop downloading and processing and just now do it at source.

Now over 1900 emails blocked in about 9 1/2 hours!!!

Re: Spam Emails

But Rob, out of those 1900 e-mails was one from a lovely Nigerian man who wanted to give you loads of money, just for using your bank account, how could you turn such a good offer down?
