RE: Bayesian filtering is driving me nuts.

Spambayes, a Bayesian filter plug-in for Outlook, also has been very
successful for the Windows Outlook clients in our office. Since SpamAssassin
is already configured for Post.Office, it would be nice if the developers of
SpamAssassin would make the Bayesian feature of SpamAssassin as effective as
Spambayes' or Spamfire's. I guess the problem is that every client is a
little bit different in terms of their Bayesian rules, but it seems that
SpamAssassin's filters don't catch a lot of obvious spam compared to
Spambayes.

Sincerely,

I agree about Spamsieve - I had to quit filtering at the server level last
year when I moved my server to a slower machine, and of course spam was
already a big enough problem that it really took over. Adding Spamsieve to
Entourage worked great, and it's been nearly flawless (it catches 99.x% of
my spam).

I hope when I get back into server side filtering that I can get SA to be
almost as good as it.

>From the success I've seen with Spamsieve, I'd love to see it running at the
server level as well.
