Evaluations of anti-spam tools
I’ve just read this article by DSPAM author Jonathan A. Zdziarski:
This article is a response to Gordon Cormack’s research paper entitled, “A Study of Supervised Spam Detection applied to Eight Months of Personal E-Mail”. Cormack’s paper was recently featured on Slashdot which has unfortunately resulted in a large swarm of geeks with wrong information, drawing wrong conclusions about statistical filtering.
I read Cormack’s paper a few days ago and had serious misgivings at the time. Zdziarski’s commentary seems, on the face of it, to address the issues that worried me. If you’ve read Cormack, it’s probably worth reading Zdziarski as well.
