Back Home Again

· Philip Jacob

Back from Ireland and England…. got quite a lot of email to deal with here.

The main problem, however, is that I didn’t have my Mozilla Thunderbird mail filter since I was using webmail for the past 10 days.

Thunderbird successfully flagged about 17,000 of these messages, leaving me with approximately 1000 spams that it wasn’t able to recognize. Quelle waste of time.

As it turns out, this is about 1,800 spam messages per day… and much to my surprise, after more closely watching what Thunderbird is doing today, this seems pretty normal for me.

SpamAssassin upgraded with no trouble to 3.0 and seems to be much better than 2.6 at recognizing stuff.
