50% Failure?

First, I'm impressed by how fast »gmail.prattboy.net/ loads, especially considering the publicity.

Second, what's with the 40-50% GMail spam filter accuracy rating?

Perhaps it's because he's purposely stuffing it with spam and little ham, but 50% is just abysmal performance for ANY spam filter...

Re: 50% Failure?

wait what does he consider spam?
if i send him 5 emails that contain gibberish i bet gmail won't filter it.
i mean if people are sending him gibberish and random emails i bet that gmail cant filter it...

Re: 50% Failure?

Bayesian filters would catch that kind of junk at over 99%, as long as they had any ham at all.

But you make a very good point; I don't know what he's getting 'stuffed' with, and didn't really read that carefully.
