Sir Radfordin Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Does anyone use anything based on Bayesian Algorithms to filter out spam mail with Outlook (or similar)?Have just downloaded and installed Outlook Spam Filter from http://www.outlook-spam-filter.com/email-spam-filter.shtml and it seems to do a fairly good job. Had to find some old spam messages that I kept for such a day to send to myself to test but out of the 20 I sent (all obvious ones) it got them all.Will leave installed and see what happens.Personally I feel I would prefer this approach to the 'mail filtering' that I understand some of the other systems use (but not having tested them don't know!)Any views?

andsome Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 I've gone from over 100 spam per day to NIL, by changing my e-mail address to something that an auto dialler is not likely to come up with. Not had a single item of spam in about three months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 http://www.keir.net/k9.htmlK9 (for standard POP3 email accounts only) uses Bayesian as well. My cousin swears by it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Radfordin Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Whilst K9 may be good it doesn't look "as good" as the ones that integrate into Outlook. If I were using such a solution I wouldn't want to have my emails going somewhere else first (or being filtered before they got to me). Outlook Spam Filter IMHO is better because it just builds itself into Outlook and then filters your mail to folders there. Much simpler.
