Actual for You - What Is The Best Anti Spam Program? (Part Two of Two)
Fred, the new manager, was working with Grant, an employee who wasn't getting his work done. Fred had delegated work to Grant, and Grant hadn't made progress on the project for almost 4 months . . . long past the due date.For the most part, Fred had done well with the first two steps of delegation and checking. He just wasn't acting on Grant's lack of performance.The key point in the process that determines if Fred needs to have a coaching or counseling session with Grant is when Fred asks if Grant needs
It uses two techniques for catching spam: A Bayesian filter and something called Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse (DCC):
The basic logic in DCC is that most spam mails have several copies floating around. Any server using DCC that finds a spam email creates a checksum (adding up the basic components of the message and then creating a shorthand value). The server then posts this value to a
If you have a cluttered mess of banners and multiple text ads on your site, unless it is a specified site of resources such as a recommended links section, link exchange or a topic specific portal, etc... then you are confusing your visitor.Your visitor came there for a specific reason, and if they get there and are presented with a confusing mess, you can bet they will not stick around.I know! Because I had this very same kind of site when I first started to try to sell products on-line. We all tend to do it at first. It just
POPFile is an email classification tool that can be used to identify and isolate spam automatically.
Using Bayesian filtering, POPFile will "learn" what you teach it about sorting and storing desirable versus spam.
POPFile can be used as an SMTP proxy before you mail server to filter all your mail. This means you can use it with almost any email client. If you use an NNTP news reader, POPFile can classify news items as well.
POPFile uses a web interface for configuration and correction of decisions about spam.
Pros
* Works via web interface
* Can be used as a POP proxy as NNTP
* Uses Bayesian filtering
Cons
* Can be a memory and CPU hog
* Not optimized for enterprise use
SpamExperts
First the good news: SpamExperts requires virtually no configuration out of the box.
Now the bad news: the occasional re-configuration sometimes requires a reboot.
Beyond that, SpamExperts is pretty easy to use. It uses a combination of checksum analysis and a Bayesian filter. Not sure why it runs so slowly sometimes. I do know that getting your mail is going to be a two-step process: first SpamExperts has to go get and then examine your mail. It can be configured to do this in the background. Then, you have to actually retrieve the good mail that is left.
SpamExperts will also quarantine any email it is unsure about. That way you can go in and have a look, training the Bayesian filter to recognize it the next time.
Pros
* Works without any configuration
* Supports POP and IMAP accounts
Cons
* Slow to process and filter incoming mail
* Re-classifying mail isn't the easiest thing to do
* Cannot sort by spam score
* Changing some settings requires a reboot
Spamihilator
Spamihilator works as a proxy for POP and IMAP mail systems. This means that it will work with just about any email software and isolate spam before you download it.

Email Aliases And Mailboxes Are Not Interchangeable. Using A Mailbox Simply To Forward Email Could Be Severely Limiting Your Email Flexibility.Whether you're setting up a website or an ISP email account, it's important to know the functional differences between email aliases and mailboxes. They are not interchangeable, and using a mailbox simply to forward email could be severely limiting your email flexibility.First, it would help to note the difference between a POP (Post Office Protocol) account and an SMTP (Simple Mail Tran

One of the most overlooked challenges a mortgage professional faces in their day to day sales cycle is the fallout that occurs when sending application packages out to prospects for approval. From my own experience coaching mortgage professionals, it's reported that as many as 30% of the packages sent are never returned.Imagine you owned a grocery store and you lost 30% of your inventory to thieves. How long would you expect to be in business?The mortgage industry enjoys relatively high profit margins. As a res

Who is ‘they' in your organisation? Sales? Marketing? the Executive Board, Customers? Do ‘they' ever seem to be making your job harder to do? Do you ever hear stuff like (or catch yourself saying): "this job would be fine if it wasn't for ‘them'!", "nobody tells me anything", "they move the goalposts all the time"?It seems that we often fall into the trap of creating a ‘them' and an ‘us' - a ‘silo' mindset. It can kick in surprisingly fast! We have seen organisations of twenty or so people who have divided themselves up into different

You know how it feels to hang out with your best friend? Pretty nice.My friend Sara knows me warts and all. I let Sara in whether I feel repulsively needy or shamelessly fabulous. In Sara's presence, my self-regard (or lack thereof) melts like butter in sunshine.And what does Sara get? My undying loyalty, for one thing. Overflowing gratitude, for another. And all the permission she can stand to be her sweet self irrespective of the state of her own self-esteem. Paradoxically, s
It uses two techniques for catching spam: A Bayesian filter and something called Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse (DCC):
The basic logic in DCC is that most spam mails have several copies floating around. Any server using DCC that finds a spam email creates a checksum (adding up the basic components of the message and then creating a shorthand value). The server then posts this value to a central database. The next server receiving this email would get the DCC results and can more easily identify the email as spam.
The one thing Spamihilator doesn't do is mark spam for further filtering via your email client. More than two categories of mail for automatic classification would be nice, too.
Pros
* Spamihilator can be used with any email client because it works as POP or IMAP proxy.
* Combines multiple techniques for filtering spam which makes it very effective.
Cons
* No remote web-based administration
* Will not classify and/or categorize your good email
SpamPal
SpamPal uses an "a la carte" approach for eliminating spam. This means that you can mix and match various different techniques:
* Blacklists
With SpamPal installed you can choose from a variety of published lists of known spammer domains and servers. If you receive mail from one of these sources, it will be identified as spam and isolated.
* Whitelists (manual and automatic)
This is a list of contacts that you decide are acceptable to receive email from and should not be sent to the trash folder. SpamPal will help you build such a list automatically (faster) or manually (more accurate).
* Bayesian filtering
* Content scoring
SpamPal works with any email program because it acts as a proxy.
Pros
* Uses Bayesian filtering as well as many blacklists
* Works as a POP and IMAP proxy so you can use it with almost any email client
* Includes SpamAssassin (a server-side anti spam program that uses content-matching rules, as well as DNS-based, checksum-based and statistical filtering)
Cons
* SpamPal isn't fully immune to blacklist problems
* DNS blacklists are slow-performing and suck up a lot of bandwidth
