I updated to the latest version of Mailwasher Pro. As I have said previously in
Spam Management V1.1, Mailwasher Pro is my first line of defense. This version adds some more spam management techniques and statistics. The statistics section confirms what I thought was happening. Spam composes about 80% of my mail. User defined filters identify most of my spam. Friends list and filters identify 10% of the mail. The remaining gets picked out from the spam databases. The biggest problem I have is a legitimate mail being flagged as spam. It doesn't happen often but it is really annoying. The most common problem is that it is flagged as having a wide distribution or from yahoo or aol. It is not as elegant as Bayes but it works and I understand how it works.
