From: "Hamish MacEwan" So the tune is the one that suits the enterprise's policy, but in many cases, Frank's one amongst them, the diversity of even the most narrowly focussed enterprise is beyond the wit of any filter.

I disagree.

Indeed, if we could train a filter to recognise spam "better than a human," the long search for AI will be over.

I am sent somewhere between 150 - 300 Spam messages daily. A few months ago my daily drudge was delete - delete mark,bound delete. Unfortunately I would fail to recognise one or two legitimate emails and delete them - this was a serious problem. I spent four months developing and training a Spam filter. Now I get one Spam every day or two, and no false positives.

From my point of view the filter is better than I am at discriminating between Spam and valid email. This is not AI, it is just that humans are not very good at boring repetitive tasks.
