I was reading Leo Laporte's recent blog post on spam filtering and decided I needed to get a little more firm handle on my mail filtering and spam filtering. I've been using the spam filter that comes with Apple's Mail.app program and it's pretty damn good. I'd say it finds about 95% of the spam I get. The nice thing is you can keep training it all the time.
I'm also experimenting with letting the mail program do all my filtering. I had been using procmail, but I think sometimes it would interfere with the spam filtering that Mail.app was doing. So we'll see how it works. I'm also taking this time to clean out old old old mail that really has no use. I want to get better at managing my email.
