Are you aware of a superb spam filter called POPFile? I use it. It is free and it is truly excellent. For my email traffic, POPFile has so far achieved an accuracy rate of 98.23% (and still improving).

POPFile is a Bayesian spam filter. It learns as you identify email as spam or legitimate. My accuracy rate built up rapidly to 97% in a very short time. The author of POPFile, John Graham-Cummings, evidently has a deep understanding of the devious ways of spammers. Importantly, POPFile reliably identifies spam while hardly ever producing a false positive. It integrates well with the Outlooks and other well-known email clients.

I learned about POPFile in a book intriguingly titled 'Degunking your Spam, Email and Viruses' by Jeff Duntemann, publisher Paraglyph Press. I consider this the best book on general Internet security I have read and recommend it wholeheartedly to those such as me who are not 'experts'. The title hardly does this book justice.

I bring these to your attention because they are SOOOO good. I am merely the user of one and the purchaser of the other. I do not know the authors of either but consider that they deserve support and encouragement in helping to address the scourges which are the raison d'être of this forum. Smile

Embarassed Yes, I did forget. Sorry about that because I want as many people as possible to know about POPFile. Thanks for posting the POPFile URL for me.

Poems and random words make no difference to the effectiveness of POPFile.
