At least compared to Spam Sieve. I have a feeling it will get much better (save them a ton of $$$ on disk space). I have found it sucks at spam filtering… At least compared to Spam Sieve.

Sample, III Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://inluminent.com/?p=914#comment-1688 I've been trying to get people to fill my gmail account up to its 1GB limit to see what happens. After a post on /. I received a flurry of so-so response and have it up to 180MB of email. During the process, I noticed that the SPAM filter in Gmail only picked up the really 'well-known' I AM PRIME-MINISTER OF NGUMBA type spam. Also, and potentially much more dangerous, although it let through about 15 emails from one email address, it suddenly moved any new messages to spam with no discernible reason as to why. However, I do like Gmail okay. I invited myself to a second account that I will not be publishing. However, if you want to check it out look through the archives on my site and feel free to send more spam and large attachments to cksampleiii@gmail.com I’ve been trying to get people to fill my gmail account up to its 1GB limit to see what happens.

At least temporarily, just to check if it works. Then if you don't like it, you can turn off autoforwarding of your domain accounts.

The Nigerians found me today :) Oh well. I did notice that the spam filter on Gmail claims to get better with time. Maybe it is baeysian and needs to be trained before it gets effective?
