I already effectively 'drop' everything with a score over 20, which accounts for 90% of my spam, over 100 messages a day. In practice, those messages go to a folder I skim through every week or two, but this is just a matter of making sure my spam corpus is clean of non-spam. In practice, I have been doing this for three months and not a single false positive has made it to the 'over20' folder. If I wasn't keeping a spam corpus to help with SA development, I'd be very confident sending everything over 20 to /dev/null. As for messages scoring 7 to 19, they go to an Outlook folder that I take a quick look at before sending them off to be reported to Razor. This only takes a couple of minutes a day and isn't a major annoyance. I'm aware that whitelist systems are the only way to truly dump 100% of spam, but SA+Razor2 comes so close to eliminating my spam problem entirely that it's not worth making everyone who wants to email me jump through hoops. -- Michael Moncur mgm at starlingtech.com http://www.starlingtech.com/ "There must be more to life than having everything." --Maurice Sendak ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
