Anyone else getting these?



I'm getting my spam labeled as such by a server somewhere on the net. A typical spam mail subject will look like this "[SPAM] SAVE TONS ON YORU CAR INSUARNCE ADKJLFJL:D bayesian filter detected spam" It's crazy. So I looked up WTF bayesian is and found this. Basically it's a filter that uses probabilities to single out spam. However, everywhere I see it on the net it is client side. Someone must be doing it server side though cause I don't have a bayesian spam blocker. Moreover, most sites on the net claim a 99% accuracy rate with 0 false positives (emails that aren't really spam but get marked) but whoever is doing this server side must be doing something wrong because when my mom wrote an email to me about my credit card it got marked as spam. Go figure. Is this just me, or is anyone else getting anything like this? It could be an sru thing, it might be a Yahoo thing, I just don't know.

P.S. I haven't posted to the blog from MY pc in a while which explains the norton thing. I've been doing it from the lab. Yesterday was the first time I've posted from my pc since you posted the "echo j" thing.

P.P.S.S. That's right. I get spanish spam. My host family from Oaxaca sent me chain mail. Blah.
