Comparison of Bayesian POP3 Spam Filters

Posted by michael on from the spam-i-am dept.

kreide writes "Spam e-mail has become an ever increasing problem, and these days it is next to impossible to use e-mail without receiving it in large amounts. Although various techniques exits to combat the problem, spammers seemed to be winning the war - until a new, powerful weapon appeared on the scene: Bayesian filters, our last, best hope for spam-free inboxes. In this review I compare POP3 based bayesian spam filters." We did an Ask Slashdot on this a few weeks ago.

    I wouldn't normally buy from a spammer either but my wife's spamTunnel is too big! I need something to enhance my spamProbe.

  4. Why Debian sucks by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    I thought that in the couple of years since I last tried Debian that maybe they got their act together. I was wrong. Debian is still the monumental CLUSTER FUCK it always was.

    Thought I'd try out their Debian GNU/Hurd. So I go to download the ISOs. Ha! As per usual Debian butt fuck, their is plenty of "documentation", a lot of chit-chat and talk, READMEs, and install guides. However, there are no ISOs *anywhere* to be found. Follow the Debian links and what is to be found? A lot of hot air.

    I just want to say to the Debian folks, that it will be another five years before I even look at your CLUSTER FUCK of a so called "operating system". I'm actually thankful for your persistent fuck ups because my plate is full anyway, and I don't have time to waste on you amateurs (in the worst sense of that word).

    For some of us shooting birds & other animals for sport or otherwise is barbaric.

    And yes, I have put myself physically between barrel and bird.

    Those rich wankers get pretty wound up when they've paid a 1000 to shoot grouse and all they can see on the moors are Sabs .

    Since you use the slang wankers, I'm assuming you're UK based. However, it's a good thing you didn't do that here in the States. I would have pulled the trigger and the good-ol-boy coroner would have ruled it a hunting accent. Offical cause of death: misadventure.

    yeah, I'd expect your disrespect for life to be total.

    We had three sabs killed in the 90's and have witnessed numerous violent incendents.

    I attended the coroner's inquest into the death of Tom Worby.
    And yes, the good-ol-boy did exactly as you predicted.

    The police anti-terrorist units attended it too, taking our photographs for their "neutral" police files.
