DSPAM vs.Gmail
I've been using Google's Gmail since July 18 (only as a backup to my Runbox account). My Runbox forwards all messages to my Gmail.
I've been training Gmail since July 18, and DSPAM since July 20. Both are excellent against spam. Runbox is doing better: it has considerably less false negatives (less spam in my Inbox). Both have very few false positives (legitimate messages classed as spam), but Runbox is also better in that respect. |

jbonet,
I've gotten the sense that Gmail's spam-filter in fact wasn't very good. At least your experience confirms it's not as good as the one soon available to all Runbox users. - Geir |

My filter seems to have gotten much better over the last couple of days. Did you push a magic button to get it working properly Geir

I have a question about Dspam.
Let's say I have 20 new messages in my inbox, with 10 of them being spam, and the other 10 being ham. If I were to flag 5 of the spam messages as spam, would it then use what it just learned and apply it to the other 15 unread messages in the inbox? Or does it just apply it to incoming messages only? Does my question make sense? Do you understand what I'm trying to ask? If it doesn't do this, why not? Is it because it'd be too resource intensive? thanks imants |

No, it would not do what you're asking. Spam scanning is only performed as messages arrive at the mail server.

After a week to 10 days of training, DSPAM is working a treat.
I've spotted one, possibly unrelated, issue over the last few days. My To: and Cc: lines are either blank (for single recipients in each line) or incorrect (for multiple recipients in each line). I'm only seeing this on fast.runbox.com - the www.runbox.com interface looks fine. Andy |

For me, it took a bit longer, but I've finally started to see a dramatic decrease in the amount of spam that gets through. I'm really digging this.

Almost no false positives
I've been training DSPAM since July 20. I receive HUNDREDS of SPAM messages every day.
On August 14, I decided to keep copies of the false positives (legitimate messages in my SPAM folder) I receive in a special folder called "False Positives". Since then, I have received exactly ONE fp, and that was a message from <staff@hotmail.com> announcing some improvements to their service. It wasn't quite SPAM, but almost. I always get a few false negatives (SPAM messages in my Inbox), but not enough to be a bother. Summing up: DSPAM is EXCELLENT! |

Oops ... spoke too soon. I just discovered that in the last 30 minutes I've had 6 messages that were not checked by DSPAM (no DSPAM headers in message). I wonder if Runbox and/or Linpro are tweaking servers.

I think a server was unhappy just now, maybe it missed some mails..? Will check back with any further info.

So when will the DSPAM filtering system be formally launched?

We've ordered a new database server, and the plan is to use the old one to run the dspam database. We were promised that the new server should arrive 1. September, but it has been postponed a week twice now. |
