Spam Update

It’s been a bit longer, now, since the new spam scanning service was implemented by my client.  I am amused to report that the best day had it catching 81% of the spam in my particular account, which is probably representative.  Saddened, too, but mainly amused, because the service was sold as being so horrifically aggressive that there were almost guaranteed to be false positives and so they would provide an easy way to find and release the innocent.

When there was nothing wrong with the environment or settings and it was working as intended, 81% would have been a bad day for Sybari.

This has convinced me more than ever that the client is being taken for a ride by the other IT firm.  Which is especially a shame, as I always thought that eventually I’d grow tired of them enough, or want to do something else enough, to want to transition them to another option, and the company in question was always the most likely option I expected to choose, unless they wanted to hire in-house.  It’s just that in-house would be bad because they’d have unrealistic expectations, and are at an awkward size.
