"SpamArchive.org has just been launched. SpamArchive.org is a
community resource that provides a database of known spam to be used
for testing, developing, and benchmarking anti-spam tools. The goal of
this project is to provide a large repository of spam that can be used
by researchers and tool developers. In the past, there were a few
small personal spam archives that were used. There was no large set of
spam that could be used to test new anti-spam algorithms. Thus,
developers could not sufficiently test their techniques across a range
of messages. Also, the lack of a "standard" sample of spam made it
difficult to effectively benchmark anti-spam tools."
That's quite possibly the lamest thing I've seen posted to slashdot all
year :-)
Seriously, I hope I don't offend whoever started this project, but
finding spam is not that hard. What's hard is making sure it really is
all spam, and they say nothing about how they're going to achieve that.
And all they have is an index.html.
Matt.
It's a step in the right direction.
