With a large corpus of beowulf traffic, and a large corpus of spam the large majority of email should be instantly (under a second) categorized into the right category (spam or ham). People have reported HIGHER accuracy with dspam than humans, I can't vouch for levels this high personally (yet), but errors of 2 in 22,787 and 1 in 7000 have been reported. I can personally attest to a big improvement over spamassassin though. It supports a passworded web based interface for reviewing the quarantined messages. From there messages can be deleted or retrained as ham and forwarded. So in an ideal case: * many less messages require human intervention * the remaining load could be spread across volunteers * the system adapts over time to new spam (via retraining) * latency from email to posting on the list would go from minutes to hours in the current case to seconds, unless it's quarantined. * everyone keeps their beloved beowulf mailing list email based. -- Bill Broadley Computational Science and Engineering UC Davis _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
