Die, Spam, Die!
It's been a couple of days since I changed my email setup, mostly based on the Ryan MacMichael model. I have all my paul@ email forward to Gmail, which then forwards to a secret mailbox at my domain. I have filtering on for both of the first two steps - at Pair and at Gmail - and as a bonus, Mail.app will catch any reminders. But ideally, I don't even want them to get to Mail.app.
The good news is that the results are very impressive thus far. I had to rejigger the filtering a bit later on that first day, as a few had gotten through.
169 spams caught by Pair's "aggressive" filters (impressive - this is a fine-tuned machine)
51 spams caught by Gmail's filters
3 false positives (sad!)
1 false negative
That's pretty good, I'd say. It's oddly calming to look at my inbox and not see a bunch of mails flagged with **JUNK** nor the occasional "This looks real!" crap find its way there. Just... real mail. Like the old days. Aaaah.
