I upgraded from version 11 to this new version 12 yesterday in the hopes it may help.

Verdict: no help so far. I will watch and see. At least our users are so used to the image spam that they don't bother me about it anymore.

Mark,

I think I will hold off again on sending in the troubleshooter files. Maybe I was expecting too much.

I went through our logs, and before I installed version 12 we averaged 17 email per day caught by our Bayesian filter. Since I installed version 12 our count averages 85 per day! Even though some of the image email still slips through, much more is being caught by the new Bayesian filter.

If you are wondering why we catch so few with the Bayesian filter, I have it last on my list and it is one of the only filters where I actually look through the email by moving it to a junk mail folder rather than just zapping it.

Thanks,

Blair
