This is _way_ off-topic for zsh-users, but ... I've been running spamassassin for several months now and my rate of false positives is close to zero -- it's definitely zero for messages on zsh lists. My overall false negative rate since mid-June is about 5%, false positive is about 0.1%, though I did have to do some score tweaking to get there (every new SA release has a few oddball scores). While I was running SA on my ISP mail machine I used a logrotate script for looking-over-its-shoulder; mailed me a summary every day and rotated each daily spambox into oblivion after 2 weeks. I quit doing that when I got DSL and had to start running SA on my home machine, but I still have the script if anyone wants it. (Apparently I get, on average, about 19 spams and 0.9 viruses per day. I'd never actually computed that before.) -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com Zsh: http://www.zsh.org | PHPerl Project: http://phperl.sourceforge.net
