Using Statistics to Cause Spammers Pain

Posted by michael on from the slow-poison dept.

mlamb writes "Statistical mail classifiers like PopFile save time on the part of their users, but don't do anything to actively combat spam. I just published an article that suggests a way to use classifier output against a spammer while they're connected to your SMTP server, and I'm launching a project called TarProxy to implement it."

    Some spammers want you to be bigger (penis), and some spammers want you to be smaller (waist). I don't need help with either of those arena's, and yet I get tons of spam. I guess the spammers don't believe that I'm a woman. They need to join the club ;-).
