Spamassassin Beats CRM-114 In Anti-Spam Shootout

Posted by timothy on from the hawaii-alaska-and-utah dept.

Simon Lyall writes "A new study of antispam software shows that Spamassassin performed well in various configurations along with Spamprobe , Bogofilter and Spambayes also came out good while CRM-114 failed to live up to its previous claims . The study shows: 'The best-performing filters reduced the volume of incoming spam from about 150 messages per day to about 2 messages per day.'"

    Better to do spam filtering with your MTA/MDA anyway, if possible. That way, the same filter is used no matter which email client you use from which computer. Plus, it means you don't have to download spams to your MUA when on a slow connection.

    Now if only I could get the rest of my mail configuration to be shared between evolution, mutt, and squirrelmail.
