Kenneth, Here is my original response to this editor.
Hello, I recently read your article on: http://www.infoworld.com/article/03/11/14/45FEspam_2.html I just need to say a few things, First of all, why did you use such an old version of SpamAssassin? You compared last years SpamAssassin with this years spam, of cource you will not see good results! Programs need to be updated! I bet you downloaded the newest and greatest versions of all those commercial packages, why didn't you update SpamAssassin to it's newest version? I am sure SpamAssassin would have done much better than those commercial packages if the admin knew how to properly use it. SpamAssassin 2.4 is really out-dated, it's missing Bayes and thousands of other fixes that make it a better product. I had a good laugh on your article, you say "Spend the 10 or 20 per month per year for one of the commercial services", sir Dialup ISPs only receive 10-20 per month from their clients, how are we supposed to afford everything else when all our money goes to commercial e-mail services which we can do for free on our own in our spare time?
