Yes, you're correct, I'm sorry. We're limiting the threshold to 15 in the GUI, as higher values would stop too much legitimate emails.]]> Sat, 09 Sep 2006 23:26:06 +0000 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=5600&PID=8947&title=question-about-embedded-image-filter#8947 <![CDATA[Question about Embedded Image Filter : Ican&#039;t change mythreashold...]]> https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=5600&PID=8946&title=question-about-embedded-image-filter#8946 Author: jemmie

so everyone getting the fairly standard outlook blue stationary being blocked at 10?

thats not very useful to be honest, especially if there could be more.

I know it is blocking other things correctly but just wonder at the level of false positives.

The threashold goes from 0 to 255, and it's a variable we use for statistical analysis of the image. There's no set rule on what the best value is. The higher the threshold, the more aggressive the filter. Unfortunately statistics is not an exact science, so this is a setting that, if tweaked, will require trial and error to see what setting is most appropriate for your install.]]> Tue, 05 Sep 2006 21:43:21 +0000 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=5600&PID=8921&title=question-about-embedded-image-filter#8921 <![CDATA[Question about Embedded Image Filter : bump... interesting. we&#039;ve...]]> https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=5600&PID=8915&title=question-about-embedded-image-filter#8915 Author: MartinC

bump...

interesting. we've had exactly the same thing happen.

and the same image.

I like the image filter .. looks very promising but really need to have an idea what it is trying to block, or what happens with the different levels from 0 (disabled) to ... 99 is it?

10 seems to be the default and is what this was blocked at.

user looks like they used Outlook but with Word as the editor if its any help.

Interesting... I just turned on the image filter last week and today, I noticed a false positive image-scan from an email including with the same bg cloud image as you, lyndonje.  Just thought I'd mention it.  I can live with a few false positives - this filter is still very usefull.

lyndon, kspare,

We'd again prefer not to give out too much information, even on a member-only section. Google's arms are worse than a giant octopus, they reach everywhere...
If you contact us by email we'll try to have a better answer with more details, if you can please assure us you will not divulge the information.

Perhaps there should be a member section on the forum for verified buyers that are not spammer so as to reveal things like this?]]> Thu, 04 May 2006 15:59:59 +0000 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=5600&PID=7927&title=question-about-embedded-image-filter#7927
