With the minor caveat that your system currently has about a 50% False
Negative score :)
I'll throw in my hat for CRM114, BTW. You can see its sucess on my system
at
http://www.inorganic.org/~rsr/crm_success.txt
which is updated hourly. Summary: Deployed for 82 days. History for these
82 days: 99.45% accuracy, with 99.72% false positive avoidance and 99.74%
false negative avoidance. Now that I've been training it well, I believe
the last 30 days are more representative of what it's capable of -- 16,920
messages, 2477 tagged as spam. 99.935% FP avoidance and 99.9% FN
avoidance.
All with incredibly minimal hassle setting up and maintaining.
