9.706 - anti-spam engine changed to SASI

One of the changes is that: Email Protection anti-spam engine changed to Sophos Anti-Spam Interface (SASI)

Anybody has experience with that change? Does it effect the rate of recognition? I haven't figured out yet if the Commtouch Advanced Security Daemon (ctasd) is dropped with this or not. And if so aren't the results from cyren no longer used?

Best regards

Alex

  • Hi Alex,

    some observations from our test-installation which holds only "spam-domains":

    • 10 days bevor the update: total 441 mails, from that 419 recognised as spam (111 Quarantine, 195 RBL) ->  old engine recognition rate 95%
    • 10 days after the update: total 326 mails, from that 191 recognised as spam (0 Quarantine, 191 RBL) -> new engine recognition rate 59%

    So from that numbers, the filterrate over all on the new engine is worse. It seems in the new engine only a RBL-filter works, which is not good.

  • Hi all,

    here are the spam-filter results from our test-installation for 14 days after activation of the SSSE3 CPU instructions:

    • total 1253 mails, from that 1245 recognised as spam (434 Quarantine, 30 RBL) -> new engine recognition rate 99%

    With that numbers the new antispam-engine seems in the same range or better then the old one.
