Interview With The SpamAssassin

comforteagle writes "Howard Wen has conducted an interview with Daniel Quinlan of SpamAssassin. In it he explores what keeps Daniel motivated in the face of the unrelenting torrent of spam and new spamming techniques, as well as, what is working - what is not, and what he predicts spammers have up their sleeves next for defeating spam detection." From the interview: "If you don't mind deleting spam manually, that's your prerogative, but don't complain about it. If your ISP doesn't do a good job fighting spam, then switch ISPs or install your own anti-spam software. There are a lot of choices out there."

Meridius Spam Appliance by Morgahastu · 2005-03-04 09:16 · Score: 1, Offtopic

My company uses a spam appliance called Meridius. It's based on some proprietary technology and uses spam assassin as a second layer. It has a very slick interface and stops about 97% of spam. Oh and it's made by a Canadian company called BlueCat Networks.
