Cloudmark: Week ??? 2093 Emails Checked, 192 Spam Caught

http://email.about.com/cs/winspamreviews/gr/cloudmark_spamn.htm

4 out of 5 stars??? Why not 5? It must be the Outlook-only status. It seems as though the really valuable part of Cloudmark is the reputation-aware collaborative filtering, which seems eminently portable. They're probably spending man months getting the #%$@ Office plugin installer to work correctly.

I've gotten 1 false positive in two months, but that was for a bulk email from Fidelity that was really borderline. Everything else from them has gotten through, but this email had more of an infomercial nature, so I can see why it got voted down.

My new dual athlon is regulated to just serving up the VMs I need for work until I can get it partitioned correctly and I can complete app migration. With three web/database servers going, it's not really sweating. I think I'll add a Red Hat workstation install so that I can start trying out Evolution and SpamAssassin.
