SpamArchive.org Launched

Posted by chrisd on from the spam-is-angry-making dept.

An anonymous reader writes "SpamArchive.org has just been launched. SpamArchive.org is a community resource that provides a database of known spam to be used for testing, developing, and benchmarking anti-spam tools. The goal of this project is to provide a large repository of spam that can be used by researchers and tool developers. In the past, there were a few small personal spam archives that were used. There was no large set of spam that could be used to test new anti-spam algorithms. Thus, developers could not sufficiently test their techniques across a range of messages. Also, the lack of a "standard" sample of spam made it difficult to effectively benchmark anti-spam tools."

    Single Jewish bisexual geek-grrl seeks seeks friendship, pen-pals, romance, and marriage. Very attractive. Into BSDM / watersports / felching. Passions include Socialism, anal sex, and protesting (anything!). I am an excellent Slashdot troller. I've been a writer for reputable and unbiased news-journals such as Indymedia.org, Adequacy.org, and my new weblog, IniquityDaily.com! If you care about any of these things, or if you'd just like to listen to me tell you all about my life for hours on end, or even if you'd just like to get together for some buttfucking, I'd like to hear from you! Male or female, young or old... I can't afford to be picky! (No further inquiries from Scott Lockwood will be accepted, though.)

    Or e-mail me. Or call me at (216) 321-3546. I don't get many phone calls, and the last person who called me hung up on me and it made me sad. Hope to hear from you soon!

    Love,

    You sound like a flamboyant homosexual.

    Do the world a favour, and jump off a high bridge.

    Can someone who uses Frontpage to create an anti-spam homepage, be trusted?
