#Find spamsieve how to#
Google knows how to scrape web pages better than anyone.Scraping HTML may sound kludgy, but it works.Or so I thought.īut I’ve now implemented technique #3 by outsourcing the whole thing to Google Custom Search and the initial results are spectacular. #3 seemed like a particularly poor solution because (a) you lose track of the differences between titles and tags, for example, and (b) it’s kludgy. Solr uses technique #2, and that’s clearly better for all sorts of reasons.
#Find spamsieve code#
My fancy search code used method #1 and the resulting code generated some of the longest, most confusing and slowest SQL queries I’ve ever seen.

There are all sorts of reasons why, but it sucked. Six weeks and a few thousand lines of code later, I had a new system that…well, sucked. In mid-March I started writing a fancy new full-text search module that worked across database tables and allowed all sorts of customization and advanced-search features. calls itself a site for “finding and sharing audio and video spoken-word recordings.” Sounds great, but our “finding” capabilities (search, in particular) have been pretty bad. It was downright spooky to see the messages moving without a clue as to why, but as soon as I realized my laptop was also running email, it became instantly clear.
#Find spamsieve software#
It was my laptop, running this other instance of my spam filtering software that was moving messages around on the email server and hence on my desktop client. And because I’m using IMAP4, this change was sent to the server and then to the email client running on the desktop. The copy of SpamSieve on that computer decided some of them were spam and would move them to the spam folder. Messages would come into Google and, in some cases, my laptop would grab them.
#Find spamsieve pro#
So here’s what was happening: My MacBook Pro had been on and running it’s own instances of Mail and SpamSieve. Because I have three different email clients (if you count the iPhone) I use IMAP4 instead of POP3 to communicate between those clients and the Google server and keep things in sync. Yes, I use their spam filtering, too - it’s much better than SpamSieve - but that wasn’t it. I use Google as my inbound and outbound email server. I even caught the nasty gremlin in the act.

(Any of you email geeks starting to get a clue here?)įor a totally separate reason I pulled out my MacBook Pro, and that’s when it hit me. With absolutely no spam filtering turned on, stuff was still being flagged and moved. Next, all the usual steps: rebooting, re-initializing this and that. So then I shut it down altogether: Whoa! I was *still* getting messages sent to the spam folder. But recently I’ve been noticing that the spam detection has been hyperactive: way too any false positives. I use OS X’s Mail app along with SpamSieve for spam filtering. So I’ve been having this realy strange problem.
