RE: [Asrg] Filtering spam by detecting 'anti-Bayesian' elements?

["Brian Azzopardi" <briana at gfi.com>]

I agree with you on the effectiveness of statistical filters for
personal use.

However, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss them for corporate use. My
observations are that most corporate email is internal and that only a
relatively small portion of employees need to receive work-related mail
from external sources - in particular sales, marketing and other outward
facing staff. So for small to medium companies it works great.

Large multinations and ISPs are a different matter altogether...

You're completely right on all this affirmations. What I really wanted 
to say is that statistical filters are very, very good for personnal 
use, but not for corporate structures. And most of the time I hear about

bayesian/statistical filters, this particular point is left...
