I have all my email delivered but sorted into separate folders for SPAM and HAM. I've set the filtering to the least aggressive. I've also turned off BSB. After a few months I still find that I’m getting a fair few ‘false positives’ and practically no ‘false negatives’. I’m glad I turned BSB off since I’ve found some wanted messages that failed that test. (They were nearly all circulars including from companies such as British Airways and a professional engineering list) How do PN rate the accuracy of Postini against the claims made before its introduction, (0.003% fail?) and, why is the balance of failures towards false positives?
Probably a good question. as a rider. how do people who dont look at these forums, approx 80%, even have a clue that a lot of "Good" e-mails are getting still births
I agree with MrToast. I often find good emails in my spam folder and despite marking them as 'not spam' a few days later there they are again. Most of these messages are circulars from companies that I deal with. Why does this keep happening after I've identified them as good?
I think when you add then to the "notspam" e-mail, it just gets forwarded to Postini to take action (if they think fit) if you add it to your personel white list, which has a finite length, it then doesnt even go to postini. I keep a list of my Notspams and add them to my e-mail preferences whitelist, so far no repeats, If you have several from the company then just give the part after the @.
