  6. Totally Wrong on Spam Filtering For Small/Medium Business? · · Score: 1

    The best solution currently in the marketplace, *BY FAR* is CloudMark. http://www.cloudmark.com/

    They have a desktop and a server version and charge per user. I think we pay about $1000usd per year for 50 users. They catch everything except the occasional backscatter Non deliverable report from when your address is joejobbed.

    The way it works is they generate various hashes from message content and aggregate those in their central DB.

    Mail (from what I remember) is never blocked until a sufficient number users, who are weighted differently based on trust (reporting history), mark it as spam.

    This doesn't cause any delay as they have zillions of users, and I believe most of the reporting comes from users of their desktop versions. I don't believe I have *ever* had a false positive, as in zero in 2 years of use.

    Can't recommend them highly enough. Software used to be a little crappy and would hang sometimes (runs as a service hooking to exchange...or maybe it's mapi), but they've fixed that earlier this year.

    Any questions let me know

    Absolutely Spot On.

    This other posturing from Google about Designing the "Fetch Audio" is a bunch of bullshit.
    GOOG411 was originally somebody's 20% project and they needed a sound to fill in the gaps so they mimicked TellMe Network's processing sound with their voice and a two dollar mic they had on their desk.

    One of your great statesmen once said that if you give up your freedom in exchange for security, you will end up with neither; this is being borne out as we speak.

    Leave your poor parents alone.

    Why the hell shouldn't they let their browser accept tracking cookies. So Google Adsense or DoubleClick knows that they are in the 55 to 64 age group, recently browsed Oldsmobile's on eBay motors, and like sites about knitting.

    Who the hell cares?

    Now I am the LAST person to ever quip "If you aren't doing anything wrong then you shouldn't have anything to hide", but get real. You sound like that crackpot drudge when he got wind of RFID being used on the large bottles that drugs are dispensed out of at the pharmacies last year and posted a headline "MINIATURE RADIO TRACKING ANTENNAS IN YOUR DRUGS!"!!!!111!!11oneone!

    Give me a break.

    So many people on slashdot get their nose permanently affixed in the air and forget that most people use a computer to GET SOMETHING DONE, not as an end unto itself.

    In case of an emergency, such as an injured finger, Emergency Medical Technicians, Fire Departments, and Hospital Emergency Rooms can quickly remove titanium rings.

    We hear false claims from jewelry stores that titanium can't be cut. Many jewelers spread this rumor when titanium started to weaken their sales of more expensive bands. If titanium could not be cut and drilled, we wouldn't be able to make our rings using standard high-speed steel tools!
