    I find that to be much better than yahoo although I am a little annoyied that both get false positives and I have to at least verify the titles in the spam folder before deleting otherwise I risk loosing an important email.

    I have not got any personal mails filtered, but did get some newsletters marked wrongly. But after a couple 'not spam' clicks they start getting correctly i think. I may be wrong though(I have managed to fill only 12% of my account so not really experienced)

        It's misleading to some other site. Googling also didn't help me :(

            He just mistyped the URL, it's called Spamihilator, and the websites is http://www.spamihilator.com/ [^]. I'm using it too, it's free but there hasn't been a new version for some time now, so I don't know if it's still maintained. It works quite well though, and after training it in the beginning, it now filters out most of my spam with false positives being very rare. Rado

                  We use Cloudmark at CodeProject. We briefly used Barracuda but after a week of missing messages, then finding them, marking them as white, and again having them block I threw that out. Horrible, horrible system.

                    I doubt it. The task possible permutations are in the billions and you have to confirm each one.

                        GMail Not passing my email address around Thunderbird In that order. GMail has rather good filters, an uncommon name on an uncommon domain goes a long way, and Thunderbird takes care of the rest.

                          Dictionary attacks on emails servers definitely happen. Take a look at this report[^]

                            Well, I think they are only talking about the spammers targeting specific domains. In general it's not going to work. There's must be about a million domains in existance and then another million possible email addresses for each domain.

                                And spammers send out billions of emails. You're right in that an attack on specific domains is the most efficient, but I'm sure that aquiring a list of the top 10,000 domains wouldn't be hard.
