Spam Filter Effectiveness (click)
I researched a LOT & everyone was raving about SPAMSIEVE or is that SPAMSEIVE spam filter. It has glowing reports online.

I downloaded the trial & followed the instructions. I trained it & re-trained it 5 times a day I was training it. After 29 days of training I was still getting regular spam of about 10 a day.

Now that is a BIG reduction (from about 200) but not big enough to warrant the $30 and all the continual training. After all that training it should get most of it.

I never purchased Spam sieve and instead changed my settings on SPAM ASSASSIN. I simply adjusted the score on Spam assassin to 2.5 (from standard value 5). I turned on OSX Mails junk filter & made a rule to move the spam assassin marked email to a spam filter. The result?

AMAZING I only get ONE spam message a day! Instantly. Spam Assassin is configurable & can be made much more effective - but for now this is fine - it is only one spam message that is getting through so apples mail will catch that when I train it.

Easy FREE and effective!

UPDATE: Two weeks on - I have had less than 5 spam emails (I think only 2 but put five just in case) and one false positive. This means that one message that was not spam was marked that it was spam. This is terrible - except that Apple mail learns that when you mark something as not spam it isn't so next time it doesn't do the same thing - and this has been true as the same person re-emailed me and it was not marked as spam. GREAT!

For those who have asked - SPAM ASSASSIN is a web server instal if you have your own web sites contact your web server - or if you Have CPANELX log in - go to the Email section & lick Spam Assassin. It will cover EVERY email address you have from all your web sites ( I have about 80 and growing).
 
 
Want 2 b FREE?

you don't have to always chase...you can find what your true self is
really looking for.

You want (crave) something because you are missing something or trying to avoid something.

Are you lonely, scared, in pain, bored?

What you
really need is below.
Life will never be fulfilling - it will always be empty - until you discover the reason why you were Created. Sure you can get a small fix from what you are looking for - but it doesn't last and leaves you wanting more. You need to be freed from this meaningless life.

Only God can free you. Don't switch off now - I'm not talking religion or some silly chant...but the most profound truth you can realize. You were
designed to be close with God. The One True God - Jesus!. Until you are at one with Him you will be empty, addicted, hopeless and condemned.

Believe it or not you are already on a journey with Jesus! The fact that you are here proves that. It is not coincidence or luck or google that is responsible but God. He loves you & wants you to be free & wants to be your friend, protector, father and wants to save you from a place you probably don't think exists.

He knows what makes you tick, what pains & hurts you have suffered and what is just around the corner.

But don't take my word for it - click
HERE to continue on your journey and allow Jesus to convince you beyond doubt of His power & love for you.
