Re: [PCTECH] Re: sp@m filtering for Mozilla 1.7 email client

[Mike Wills <koldark@xxxxxxxxx>]

I find the spam filtering in Thunderbird doesn't learn as fast or is
as good as SpamBayes for Outlook. Spambayes is by far the best spam
filter I have used. The I am still trying to teach Thunderbird about
some spam, and I have been using Thunderbird for months. But overall
it catches a good portion of the spam.

Outlook 2003 (supposively) has Bayesian filtering, but I don't like
the interface they have in Outlook, it is too clunky. To date at work,
I am using a combination of 3 spam filters. The first is the corporate
Barracuda, then Outlooks spam filter, then as the catch all, I am
using the SpamBayes plugin.I haven't seen a spam in my inbox for a
very long time.

At home I am using my hosts grey-listing process, then Thunderbird.
Definately not as good as I still get spam in my inbox. However, it is
mostly the "I need your help... " or ".. I will be in your area and am
looking for a "partner"." messages.
