[TriLUG] Another seal broken... thinking of installing a C/R anti-spam system

[David McDowell]

I've been lazy at home, so I'm still on the SA pre sa-update.  I'm
easily getting 50-100 spams into my inbox each day... but also usually
10 hams.  I dump all my spam into a spam folder and process that once
a week or so.  I hardly process ham, I suppose I should improve on
that.  I've managed to have 2741 spams sent directly to /dev/null in
the month of Jan 2007 according to my procmail log.  Doubling that
would be impressive... something SA with sa-update I'm sure would do.
In 3+ years of using SA, I've only had one false positive.  A friend
of my Mom on an aol account got sent to "possible spam" folder once,
so I just whitelisted that friend's address for Mom, problem solved.
Like Magnus, I'm a little weary of being over-zealous and dropping
good mail.
