A couple of weeks ago you and Tony posted patches to make sb_filter obey the notate_to and notate_subject options. I've finally applied a modified version of them, that respects both of those options. I've committed it to the head, so it may not be in the next bugfix release, but will be in the next feature release.
That's great to hear!
I didn't do this, partly because none of the other header-modifying spambayes applications does it, and partly because it made the To / Subject very messy looking. And I find that the scores get less interesting over time - they're fun to look at at first, and useful when debugging, but day to day I don't look at them. YMMV. 8-)
I agree with you here. The spam scores I am noticing are usually '1.00', and while people understand the "spam" part, they have a hard time understanding what this percentage really means. I see nothing valuable gained, and only used bandwidth.
Hope its still going well?
The configuration is IMAP (courier) server-based (Exim router), and the setup only takes a few minutes over the phone. The people in the office love it, and the best part is they can now keep it trained. I'm done running tests with domain-based filtering in addition to the user-based and default filter, but not many corporate clients are using it yet. In addition, I'm still awaiting feedback from several residential users concerning their satisfaction. My happiness may stem from ignorance of others' perception, but I'm hoping my effort to curb the tide of spam is both an effective and simple solution. So, no major headaches (yet). ;) Thanks for your time Richie. Have a good one, hank
