texte = Bayesian Spam Filtering (that's the best of the new stuff) does a statistical word analysis of the entire email message. Based on words you use in your from, subject, other headers and body, it determines if a message is SPAM. there are no rules and it doesn't get tricked very easily. It is built in to the email program distributed with Mac OSX 10.2 called Mail.app. I have been using it for several months now, and my spam, with no rule writing on my part, has dropped from 200 messages a day in my inbox to 2-4 a day. (some days=none) You can personalize the message all you want, doesn't matter. It now catches commercial email that I probably did sign up to receive, as well as all of their partners who now also seem to have my email address. Do I care? Not really. opt-in promo email only works if the recipient only gets a few emails a day, after that, they all become noise.Brian B.
