-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Bonny,
I second Daniel's suggestion to use the Bayesian features. They work wonderfully. Meanwhile, do you have full access to the SA setup? Or like me are you and end-user, limited to using just user_prefs? If you have full access to the SA setup, you can add rules to your config file(s) to trap additional signs of spam. If you're an end-user, then you probably don't have access to anything but user_prefs, and you probably can't (yet) create your own rules. You can modify scores for specific rules in user_prefs, but without a system like I've developed to implement a second level of spam checking, you can't activate your own rules. You can do a lot with some very simple and very minor modifications to rule scores, though. The trick there is to identify what spam gets through and to make the minimal amount of change necessary to trap the spam.
