Sellam,
I've been using SpamAssassin for several months - and you can tweak it to the
place where it screens out 99% of the SPAM w/virtually no false positives. ?
There are spammers who "train" their Email on SpamAssassin - who can get
through. ?When they do, I forward their SPAMs to SpamCop - where they get
blacklisted - and at least you won't hear from that particular ISP/vendor
again. ?What this means is that it never will reach 100% - but 99% is good
enough for me (I kinda enjoy nailing the ones that get through ;-)
