btiffin 13-Apr-2007 [1382] | Graham, before you know it you will be King. King I say. |
Graham 13-Apr-2007 [1383x2] | Lol. |
My script already does the ocr, and emails me at gmail... I just want to remove the gmail component | |
btiffin 13-Apr-2007 [1385] | I've restrained from gmail so far. Can't ignore the trends for too long though, or I'd still be running DOS and Coherent. :) |
Graham 13-Apr-2007 [1386x2] | gmail is cheap online archive for all our faxes |
2.8Gb gives u quite a few faxes :) | |
btiffin 13-Apr-2007 [1388x2] | Yeah, I've been hearing that it's taking over. I almost clicked the gmail beta test Icon a while back, but refrained. |
Hey, my address is btiffin from canada.com. How can you beat that, being thee canadian btiffin. :) At the time, I actually could have been the canadian brian, but that's boring and a little snooty. :) | |
Graham 13-Apr-2007 [1390] | you have a blog ? Life of Brian ? |
btiffin 13-Apr-2007 [1391x2] | I did like that movie...but Holy Grail is the bomb. :) |
I'll have a blog running on peoplecards.ca...and it's blog.r based. I'm just a little confused by blog-active: true/false and the [edit] sequence doesn't seem quite right yet. This code snippet doesn't seem to redisplay things properly... if cgi/save [ show-blog save-blog cgi/save cgi/date cgi/title cgi/text ] | |
Graham 13-Apr-2007 [1393] | is blog-active a test mode thing? |
btiffin 13-Apr-2007 [1394x2] | No it determines if you regen the blogs or use post generated articles. But in the article subdir all the css image names are wrong (relative URL hell)... I'll get there. A few more reads through the code. |
Umm, I think it determines the regen or post article... :) | |
Gabriele 14-Apr-2007 [1396] | brian, you can do like me, and just forward your address to gmail :) i did so for the spam filtering. and now i'm starting to appreciate the rest of gmail. |
Graham 14-Apr-2007 [1397x2] | except gmail's spam filters are too aggressive |
and there doesn't appear to be a way to whitelist senders | |
Gabriele 14-Apr-2007 [1399x4] | the contact list isn't a white list? |
anyway... it has worked fine so far... considering most mails come from my server so are being relayed a couple of times and don't come from the sender host. | |
it's much better than waiting for thunderbird to filter out 150 spam mails a day | |
(spam being there for 30 days also means that i can easily search for false positives if i suspect of any) | |
Graham 14-Apr-2007 [1403] | no, because I get rebol list mail being sent to spam at times |
Gabriele 14-Apr-2007 [1404x2] | do you have all ml subscribers in the contact list? ;) |
i got one ml message flagged as spam too. 1/1000 false positives is not too bad considering it was not trained at all (and i don't know if their filter actually tries to adapt to the user). | |
Sunanda 14-Apr-2007 [1406] | I've seen similat results with gmail to Gabriele.......The spam filters work well for me. Of the 485 spams (to one address) in the last 30 days: -- 483 correctly routed to the spam folder -- 2 incorrectly identifed as real mail -- 0 real mails identified as spam |
btiffin 14-Apr-2007 [1407] | Things do seem to be getting better in email land. My canada.com account I had delegated as the 'send spam here' as I got harvested when they changed to a new service. Today, expecting to troll through the hundreds of viagra ads, I got none. I haven't cleard the mailbox in a few weeks, and all I got was a job offer. A real one. This job was not for me, it was .Net related but no spam. Hmmm. |
Maxim 14-Apr-2007 [1408x3] | I think gmail use humans as the training... any spam I get I tell the gmail about... thus with millions of users... they have a perfect trraining engine, which allows them to get only "real" spam and they probably just do a content match. |
In two years of using gmail exclusively, I have received less than 10 spams to my inbox (I receive 70-100 a day) and receive many real mails to. so far I have only detected 3 false positives in 3 years. and since gmail aggressively collects all the mail addresses you've received and sent to, the white list is rapidly perfect with 0 need on my part. | |
I used to check and clear my spam daily... and after 1.5 years and finding only 2 I decided it was not worth the effort... the original send can always send another mail and ALL bets are that I WILL receive that mail :-) | |
Graham 14-Apr-2007 [1411] | I've had about 30 false positives ... too many for me. |
Gabriele 14-Apr-2007 [1412] | graham, you've been extremely unlucky :) i have checked every mail inside Spam for one week, and since everything seemed fine, i just stopped looking inside it. since gmail keeps the spam for 30 days, if ever i don't see a mail i expect or something a simple search inside spam should find it. |
Graham 14-Apr-2007 [1413x5] | I send my self faxes by email ... they all end up in the spam folder :( |
I've constructed a label for them .. makes no difference | |
I'll try adding them to my contact list. | |
I would like to see some way of Gmail adding subject lines to white lists | |
And yes, technology and I don't mix well :( | |
Oldes 15-Apr-2007 [1418] | Look at headers of these emails, maybe you will find some hint why they are supposed to be a spam |
Graham 15-Apr-2007 [1419x2] | My imap server kept shutting itself down. |
Looks like my system clock was slightly fast by a few seconds. When I reset the time using my script with nist.gov clock, the imap server saw that that the time went back by 10 seconds, and so decided to shut it self down to avoid causing problems! | |
Anton 16-Apr-2007 [1421x2] | Gabriele, I've just been going through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_distributions and I'm attracted to distros that aren't too far from a root distro, eg. Ututo based on Gentoo, or Ubuntu based on Debian. Also, I've tried Slackware on some older machines recently and it has spawned several distros, so Slackware might be good. I want to do audio work so I'll be looking for a kernel compiled for low-latency audio. |
How's your search going ? | |
Kaj 16-Apr-2007 [1423x3] | This is a good distro for audio work: |
http://www.dynebolic.org | |
Its creator is an old Amigan. :-) His parents even had an Amiga shop in Italy | |
Maxim 16-Apr-2007 [1426] | pretty cool claims on the home page... k5 and 64mb minimum HW, no install, etc. |
Kaj 16-Apr-2007 [1427] | It's true. It is a distro from scratch with several unique features, and it has been going for a number of years |
Anton 16-Apr-2007 [1428x2] | :) I've already briefly tried Dynebolic (or was it Pure:dyne ?) |
Kaj, have you used it for anything ? | |
Kaj 16-Apr-2007 [1430x2] | Not really, but it's one of the systems I've been following for years |
I've spoken with the creator several times, since he now lives in Amsterdam | |
