Mozilla Adding Spam Filters

Posted by michael on from the one-small-step dept.

    Bayesian at the moon with this filter. The spammers will figure a way around it. Probably involving legislation,

    Now the list of 101 Mozilla features that IE doesn't have can be amended to 102 features! :)

    Yeah.. but those 102 features are nothing when you compare them to the one major feature IE has over Mozilla, w3 compliance with HTML, CSS and XSL.

    Mozilla Mail alphas now features Bayesian filters as seen in Apple Mail 1.2? Cool. I love Mail's spam filtering in OS X. It works extremely well! I very, very rarely get spam in my inbox anymore and I used to get dozens a day.

    I wonder how well Jaguar's Mail spam filters work for CmdrTaco and his hundreds of spams a day on his PowerBook...
