(no subject)

I just reinstalled dspam (my spam problem was getting awful), and I'm amazed once again at just how 'perceptive' a good statistical algorithm can be. For example I sent it a couple of test messages, and it immediately (after being corrected once) noticed that the most salient feature about them was "Received.*uid", which means I sent them from my local machine (they didn't come from the Internet). Oops. A reliable nonspam indicator indeed. :-D

Other things it's already noticed, in a corpus of only about 25 messages, of which about 18 were spam:

- my 'vyrus' alias is basically a spamtrap.
- Things which send mime types are usually friendly.
- A content-type of ASCII is promising.
- Mail sent around 11 AM is usually not spam. (Heh, XD.)
