FoRK and Spam..

I recently installed SpamAssassin.  I've only been running
it a couple of weeks, but since last Tuesday morning (EST)
it detected about 13MiB of spam sent to my mailboxes.  Some
of those were false positives, and some slipped through, but
the numbers indicate that between 25% and 30% of my incoming
mail is spam.

I wrote this up at <URL:http://Ken.Coar.Org/musings/spam-fighting.html>
in case you're bored.

Curiously enough, FoRK traffic triggers more false positives than
I would have expected -- and even more amazingly, none of them
are from the people I would have expected to trigger it. :-D
