Agreed, but then it's in Perl...  I use spamprobe instead, and while I
still see a pause between the sound for new mail and it arriving in my
Inbox, it seems to perform faster.  It's in C++, and I've no idea if
it's letting through more spam or less, as I've not done that kind of
testing.  But I've got a spam filter (BrightMail) up line at work
already, and then put spamprobe in place to filter what that misses.=20
And then send those caught back up to BrightMail's system to have their
rules changed to catch those, too.  So what gets through is "new" mostly
anyway...  I say "mostly" as I'm not sure what difference me sending my
spams back really makes - it seems to cause a reduction in my spam, so I
*think* it's worth it.  And I see a 90-95% success rate on catching
spam, with only 2 false positives so far to date (both from companies
trying to sell me stuff, but I'd subscribed to them and not white-listed
them, as I can't see how with spamprobe - it's a pure and simple
Bayesian filter.)
