Howdy. I'm looking for a spam filtering application that will play nice with Pocomail. Anyone have any good experiences with one?
Thanks,

You're right, Gary. It belongs to Email Hall.P.S. Perhaps this belongs in the Junk Mail filtering topic, or in the E-mail related forum?

Here it goes:speerga wrote:All right, Eric. It probably isn't going to help me to ask this, as I've tried every idea anyone on these forums has mentioned (if I understood them?), but here goes: What are your settings in Pocomail's Junk Mail Filter to get those great results??![]()
I don't know much about this Bayesian stuff, but if you set the good mail bias higher, you'll get more chance to classify junk as good mail, I think.speerga wrote:EDITED TO ASK: I note Eric's good mail bias is at 3.0 and tribble's is at 2.0.
Can you explain what this means? How it works? Why the differences? What should I try for mine? And how much difference will the 2.0 or 3.0 make? Thanks.
You'll have to play a bit with it, until you find the setting which works for you.Help | Contents wrote:Good Mail Bias is also used internally during calculation of word probabilities. It will multiply the probability of any good words by the set value to give good words more power over junk words. This is another way to minimize false positives

It's currently trained with over 29,000 good words and 13,500 spam words. I have it configured to add [Spam] to the start of the subject, so I can then let Pocomail filter it to the Junk Mail folder. While I have PM's Junk Mail Filters disabled, I set up a regular filter to look for [Spam] in the subject line and move it to the Junk mail folder. I don't have a "Whitelist" or "Blacklist" set up, but I do have the "Use a DNS blackhole list to help identify spam" checked, and it's using the default sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org list server, and the "Days to cache IPs" is set at 5. I have no other "Tweaks" or features enabled.
Is there anything else I can do to creep up toward that 98% figure?
Thanks!!
