From: jonathan at nuclearelephant.com (Jonathan A. Zdziarski) Subject: Spam with PGP > Just exactly *HOW* do you measure ``literally 100%''? E.g. over the past four months or so, every single spam that has come through has been caught. > How do you account for false positives and false negatives? Haven't had any of either in four months. > Do you manually examine every message, whether or not flagged as spam? Yes.

I'm not suggesting DSPAM is capable of this for every user - and I am certain that I will receive some spam eventually to ruin my golden streak, as there are always new types of spams to learn. My wife doesn't get 100%; she's been getting around 99% until I tinkered with dictionary lately (she's one of my guinnea pigs)..and I've talked to some users who are only getting around 95%...please don't think I'm trying to suggest my solution is the end-all-be-all solution. But as for me, yes I'm getting 100% so far. > How can we get hold of yours? http://www.nuclearelephant.com/projects/dspam/
