Hi,
I have enabled SpamAssassin on common-lisp.net - This should reduce the amount of spam that passes the system significantly. Spam filtering is performed during SMTP receiption and the threshold is very low. False positives will travel back to the sender with the message that the email was considered spam, so I don't think that the low threshold should be a problem. If there are still reports about spam passing through our mailer, I'd like to learn about it and maybe tune the system more.
Cheers, Hans

Is there a mail address where false negatives should be sent to improve the heuristic on the next match?
Thanks for the effort! It is much appreciated!
Bye,
Erik.

I am not aware of such a feature. If that is something which SpamAssassin can do, let me know how and I'll try to find time to implement it.

Sure it can :-) See http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SiteWideBayesSetup and http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SiteWideBayesFeedback.
I hope that's what you mean?

That's what I mean. The question is whether anyone would actually use it :) I will keep it on my list of things to do if I get more complaints about spam, now that SA is in place.
Thanks for the pointer! Hans
