Subject: [exim] SPAM Filtering - Losing the war!

    "Junk mail is war. RFCs do not apply."
        --Wietse Venema




Hello!

With the recent upsurge of spam, I am strongly compelled to ask:

Is there anyone on this list who can afford to brag about the
effectiveness of their spam filtering techniques? (With the
exception of Marc Perkel ;))

That would mean:

1. You are using Exim and its techniques only
2. You show stats that your accuracy is very good...
2. You present stats that show negligible false positives...

...and you are NOT using any of those expensive appliances!

It's becoming evident, day by day, that the war against spam is
almost a full time job ;)

Perhaps it's time we got exim-sntispam@??? to share ideas on
fighting spam and the rapidly changing techniques being used by
spammers. So much time and resources are consumed by spammers that we
need to declare spam as the "third world war".


        cheers
