Disabling SPAM Filter on ISp's mail server

[samueljlevine]

I use yahoo mail provided by ATT.net. It offers a self-learning SPAM filter which works pretty well. I left it enabled while using MWP 6.3 but now feel that it should be DISABLED while using MWP 2010 because of its new learning system. For me it would do away with the monthly need to review and rescue emails in the Yahoo SPAM box.

Am I correct? Is this the most effective / efficient use of two learning filters?

Hi there

Yes, I think that's a fair decision, at least until you've managed to put a couple of hundred emails through the new version. After that you should see better accuracy and go back to keeping the filter enabled.

I had my ISP turn it off to permit training and testing and have left it off. I think that MWP 2010 does the job well but lets you make the decisions.

I took a middle road, I have the option to have one ISP mark messages with a spam flag in the subject and another puts in X-Header: tags. I have filters set to detect both of these and sort the messages into groups depending on which filter hit.
