  1. Re:great on Comparison of Bayesian POP3 Spam Filters · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yup, I was also thinking "for peace" ;) Long live B5

    But on the other side ... I've had the same problem you had - going from 0 to 25-30 a day, sometimes even more. I don't think we'll ever be able to stop the spammers, but I think that some of the blame has to be put on those people offering free mail services like Hotmail, Yahoo.com (and .ca) and AOL. 95% of my spam originates from accounts on their domain, and when I'll try to send bounce messages with Mailwasher, the accounts used to spam me doesn't exist anymore ... so if these mailservices had made a system couldn't be used to create accounts automatically with a script, we might se a little more spam out on the net, as I doubt that the spammers would bother using lots of time creating accounts themselves ...

    I like the thought of an all year huntinglicense for spammers though ;)
