[OPLINTECH] FWIW Interesting type of spam filter

[Karl Jendretzky]

I've been using a Barracuda appliance since about 2008 with much success. On busier days it blocks about 80k out of 110k mail.

My e-mail domain is hosted by Google. Spam is non-existent. I can't think of a single time I've ever had a spam message in my inbox. I only check the spam folder occasionally to see if a valid email gets mislabeled. (Ironically, the only messages that ever get mislabeled originate from OPLIN and OPLINTECH!) 

Even better: it's free. (I happen to use Google Apps for Business, which now has a subscription, but I'm grandfathered in since I was using it before they decided to charge for the service.) 

Doesn't OPLIN mail scan inbound main based on SpamAssassin or some such filter? I seem to recall seeing those tags in the message headers for received mail once upon a time. Been a while since I last looked, though.

I wonder what the click-through rate is for casual emailers?

I would think a better way to spend one's money would be on an email 
service which had good spam detection.
