Having a single spam folder is a very bad decision, because it means that it gets so cluttered with junk that almost all users just nuke it all unread. Instead what I do is I filter 8<x junk.spam.sa.high 66% of spam is classified here. 6<x<8 junk.spam.sa.medium 20% 2<x<6 junk.spam.sa.low 14% High is almost exclusively foreign language spam. Medium is domestic language spam, low gets the rare FP, and a few of the junkier but still solicited newsletters. I also sort out high before mailing lists, and the others after mailing lists. This way I can partially filter mailing lists, yet avoid lots of FP's that setting a universal threshold of 2 would cause. I keep a threshold of 2 for my main inbox and low remains uncluttered enough to check for FP's. > What score do you delete at? I never delete automatically, but the high catagory gets a 10 second glance every week, medium gets 20 seconds every week, and low gets 10 seconds a day. Even when I 'delete', I am archiving it for my own spam processing engine. Scott ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
