    Posted: 24 February 2005 at 11:18am

I am currently running an eval version of the Spam Filter. I must say, so far it is working OK. I know there is alot of tweaking I need to do still, though.

Before I invest too much time, I would like to know the maximum number of domains the filter can successfully monitor. We currently have 191 domains, and growing. Is this too much of a burden for the filter?

Also, I have a question about the beyesian filter... It seems like the stats for some of the words are a little different than what I expected. (See below)

*Token ,Good, Spam, ProbSpam, ModDate
*!!!,12,0,9.99999974737875E-5,2/22/2005
*!!!!,6,0,9.99999974737875E-5,2/20/2005
*!!!!!,3,0,0.400000005960464,2/16/2005
*!!!!!!,1,0,0.400000005960464,2/16/2005
*$$$,14,0,9.99999974737875E-5,2/23/2005
*porn,23,3,0.279009759426117,2/23/2005

In this example, it stats the word "porn" was used in 23 legit emails? Currently, I dont have any word filters setup, so is the beyesian filter not smart enough yet? I thought the beyesian filter would "learn" from emails that were blocked by MAPS. If that were the case, I would assume the porn entry should be more like (*porn,3,23, etc...) Does that make sense?

Also, if you have a list of keywords that you could email, I would very much appreciate it. It woudl save me a ALOT of time. Thanks again! My email is jomaits(at)ogdennews.com

omaits,

We currently run with over 400 domains with zero issues.

Also, The Bayesian filter does require some filters to give it something to work with.

Great! Sorry for the stupid question, I am new to email stuff. Do you have a copy of the keywords file you coudl send me? I am a little unsure as to what I need to put in there and it would save me hours of work! My email is in the above post. Thanks again Dan.

Take care,

Jake Omaits
