I Hate Spam... Bayesian anti-spam filter plug-in for Outlook?

[Panik]

I :swear: hate Spam, it's the bane of my online existant, and I've got to say that most of the Spam filters I've tried are totally crap.

I tried Mailwasher (http://www.mailwasher.net/), and while it worked Ok, it was a hassle to run, check it was deleting/bouncing the right emails, delete/bounce the crap and then open outlook.
It wasn't terribly fast, and wasn't 100% effective. But it was satisfying to bounce all the Spam, not that it did anything.

I tried the built-in filter in outlook, and that sucked even more, it was about 50% effective, but atleast it was built into Outlook.

What I wanted was a real Bayesian anti-spam filter plug-in for Outlook. I looked a while ago and couldn't find one, but this time around I scored :)

SpamBayes (http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/index.html) is a Bayesian anti-spam filter plug-in for Outlook. I downloaded it and it works!!!!
I just trained it using a few Spams that I had, and my newest emails, it made a couple of mistakes early on, but now that it's trained better, it works really well. :cool:

Thanks for the info Panik, i've had two execs hit me up for something to combat spam today, however i was way to busy to tend to it today and they said it wasn't urgent, thanks for cutting the research down!

:banana: Yay!, I helped :)

I've re-trained my filter, now that I have a small amount of spam, and I know that my inbox is free of canned ham-like produce.
So hopefully my results will be better from now on. It still seems to be doing a very good job though.

It looks like Spambayes also have a Bayesian filter that you can stick on a mail server, to scan everyone's email. But this won't be as effective.

Just think what would have happened to Spam if M$ had included a filter with Outlook a couple of years ago. It would have made the whole business unprofitable.
