I have been using spamnix for filtering my Eudora mail and have had a great experience (it is spamassassin + bayes). Does anyone know if there is a project/plan to looking into a spamassassin extension for Mozilla/Thunderbird that would augment the built-in bays filtering? I am not at all impressed with the current mozilla performance. Cheers.

Of course you could use Spamnix which implements SpamAssassin as a Eudora plugin. The beta version includes Bayesian filtering.

Other co-workers with Eudora are less fortunate, since they spend better than an hour clearing out all those emails.

The Eudora users might want to consider Spamnix. (Or why not just filter on e-mail body contains "Please see the attached file for details"? For that matter, maybe AND any header contains "X-MS")

Better yet kill MS-executable attachments on the mail server -- before the mail client even sees them.

...has already been done.

Of course, just like everything else they're doing, they have to try and one-up everyone else somehow.

Check out Eudora Pro and the plugin Spamnix. Both are free to use, but if you register you don't get adware or annoyances.

Hell, if the filter worked 90% of the time I'd use it at my ISP...

One word: Spamnix.

Out of the 25 or so spams I get every time I check my email, maybe one actually lands in my inbox.

For those who use Eudora on Windows, Spamnix is a plugin that is based on spamassassin and it works really well. Although you still have the overhead of downloading the mail, you never actually see it (I just have everything dump right into my trash folder). I'd say that at most, two or three spams slip through a day, which is something that I can tolerate.
