spam and cheese
For those of you with email accounts on the server, I'm sure you are tired of spam and cheese sandwiches*. I know I am. My (unflagged) spam count has recently gone through the roof.
Hang in there, because I'm working on an alternative filter system that should actually decrease the burden on the server for filtering, while improving accuracy of filtering, and greatly improving ease of use (ease of submitting spam/ham to the filter system, and easy of quaranteening junk mail to keep your inbox manageable).
Although I wanted to implement this in another phase, I think I am going to switch to ldap based account management at the same time. The new filter obsoletes my current user management system, so this kind of got pushed up.
I am testing both upgrades on my development server now, and I hope to be able to implement the filters + ldap directory on the production server by the end of the year. I'll keep you up to date!
*spam and cheese sandwich: in this case this refers to junk emails layered on top of stinky virus mails or other stinky undesireable messages; all surrounded by the bread, or layers of legitimate and desired email. Most people find it quite annoying when they have to manually pick the spam and cheese out of their inboxes.
