Re: [opensuse] to spamassassin or not to spamassassin
Hi, Spamassassin (SA) has been a nice anti-spam for years but as some of you already said, it gives a lot of false positives... Some time ago I found DSPAM (http://dspam.nuclearelephant.com/) which, by now, I find to be better than SA.

Just wondering what the list thought of spamassassin and it's use with Kmail, or any email client.

Spamasassin has brought about a lot of false positives in my use with Kmail ( I may be doing something wrong), but bogofilter produces almost no false positives and gets rid the spam - you also get a bluey whiteness with your whites.

False positives? Nonsense. Spamassassin consistently out performs EVERY other spam solution out there. http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/article.php/3586381 earning three times as many votes as runner-up -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

One point about SpamAssassin is that you can easily tune it by adjusting the scoring threshold. Lowering it means more false positives and fewer false negatives. Raising it means fewer false positives and more false negatives. The default is 5, and I see very few false positives with that setting. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
