What is Bayesian Filtering?:
What is Bayesian Filtering? A 240 year old mathematical algorithm adapted to fight spam Creates a database of words, phrases and email attributes with an associated probability of being in a spam message Each database is unique to the user network

How does Bayesian filtering work?:
How does Bayesian filtering work? The ThreatWall examines messages that flow through your system that have been marked as spam or ham (not spam) As the database is built, words, phrases and elements are assigned a probability of being associated with spam or associated with ham (not spam) The database can change over time as new messages are examined All incoming messages are compared to the database, words and phrases are matched for at total score

Bayesian filter example:
Bayesian filter example Joe, I understand you are discounting the esoft VPN client softpak. I never had any of my customers subscribe to it previously, however now, I have a couple of customers that need something like it. What do you recommend as a replacement? Does the Greenbow VPN client work well? Any help would be appreciated as I am finding a growing need for VPN client software.
