Using a MaybeSpam Mailbox

I put non-list messages with a score of 2 or more in my "MaybeSpam" mailbox and then "greenlist" false positives. I put all my spam-fighting energy into keeping my greenlist up-to-date and so far, it's working well for me. Details are in the blog item.

BTW, nice blog!

Because I do believe that both of these solution should be implemented where they can. SPf is on my plate should implement that in a few weeks. Do they also offer SPF or Domainkeys ?

Though this was after I'd trained it a lot (using the bayesian stuff). I then (really) upped the weightings of the 60%+ certainties, such that if something scored 99% bayesian certainty it was instantly going to /dev/null. (Before setting 10 to /dev/null I had it going to a separate "Really Junk" folder for about a month with 0 false positives.) With that setup I had maybe 1 or 2 spam reach my inbox every 3-4 days, around 5-10 actual spam in the Junk, and maybe 1 false positive end up in the Junk folder (which was then really easy to spot, and most of the time that was actually Mail that decided - wrongly - it was spam). According to my stats ~140 day were ending up in /dev/null. I had two levels: 5 for moving to Junk, 10 for /dev/null. Though this was after I'd trained it a lot (using the bayesian stuff).
