Yahoo’ Spam Guard
Written by andy on March 13th, 2007 in Software.
This coming week, I will be testing out how Yahoo’ spam filter does in comparison to Gmails, stay tuned!
Update :
It would seem that Yahoo’ SpamGuard needs some training, so I am going give it 5 days of training, basically telling it which is spam and which is not, then I will start collecting numbers. I am not sure if I am going to like this, but to be fair, it is catching a good chunk.
Another Update:
I am not liking Yahoo’ spam protection, it would seem that the more that it is trained, the more crap I see in my inbox. I am going to keep going through the weekend and see if 2 more days makes a difference or not. Otherwise, I am back to using GMAIL as my spam stopper.
Last Update:
For the last week, I have been using Yahoo as a spam filter, training, training and more training with no noticable difference in the amount of spam that I was getting. As of today (3/13/2007) , I have switch back to GMAIL as my spam filter. GMAIL isn’t perfect, but the amount of labor is far less.
