SPAM!
Come on, this is getting ridiculous. 225 messages were blocked as spam yesterday in one of my e-mail accounts, and not one of them was a false positive. A few spams (two or three) were not blocked, but almost all of them were. By contrast, that same mailbox received 146 non-spam messages from Friday night until now. That’s 225 spams in 24 hours, and 146 non-spams in 48 hours.
The good news: Bayesian filters still work, and they are responsible for the nearly flawless spam-blocking I enjoy. The bad news: there is more spam coming in each day. Weird as it may sound, I do hope Bill Gates is right.
