[BozemanLUG] Best spam filter

[Warren Sanders]

I missed hitting 'reply all', so resending... 

I used Thunderbird's spam detection feature, and/or moved mail to be spam/ham into specific imap folders. Then I had a cron job that looked at these daily (sa-learn --spam/--ham --mbox <dir>).

Thanks Warren, 

Do know of any good tools to help with training? A 3-4GB of spam messages are a 
lot to look through by hand for poison.
