DSPAM v2.10 Released

Posted by michael on from the self-promotion-is-the-best-kind dept.

Nuclear Elephant writes "DSPAM v2.10 is finally available, after four months of development. This is the first stable release to include Bayesian Noise Reduction which was recently mentioned on Slashdot and in Wired News as an algorithm providing accuracy levels as high as 10x that of a human. Some other new features include Neural Networking - which finds nodes in a network that are contextually similar to form a decision matrix, Global Filtering - which provides SpamAssassin-like out-of-the-box type filtering for new users until they build up their own wordlist, Automatic Whitelisting - which automatically learns who your trusted senders are, and many other optimizations and enhancements. Head on over and download the latest tar ball."

    this is from the faq...

    In real-world scenarios, false positives have ranged anywhere from 0% (none) to 0.10% depending on both implementation and user's mail behavior. Users with relatively predictable mail behavior (such as geeks, dweebs, and freaks) have generally received very few false positives (less than 1 in 10,000 messages).

      What about losers, dorks, and morons? Are they cursed with a high rate of false positives?

    Computer manufacturers will begin including a Hammer type device into PCs beginning immediately. This device will, when its associated software detects a user attempting to sign up for free porn, hammer the user to death.

    Computer manufacturers are also investigating whether this device will be able to deal with the so-called "Stupid User Problem" which plagues so many IT professionals world wide.

    So, let me get this straight - my spam filter will know better than I do which emails I want to read, and which ones I don't?
    "No, trust me man, you really want a bigger johnson. Read it!"
