Spam Fighting has gone Peer-to-Peer

Thanks JC for this one:
I have been recently using this spam filtering software called Spam Inspector from Giant Company. It uses a peer to peer network to learn how to increase its spam filtering capabilities. After using the software for a few months now I have noticed a major decrease in the amount of spam, almost on a weekly basis. "The learning network works with the Spam Inspector Instant Response System (I.R.S). When you notify us of a new junk email message, the message signature is sent to our servers, where the headers of the message are parsed, heuristically analyzed, and compared to tens of thousands of other message signatures in the system. If a match is made the I.R.S makes a probalistic judgment on the amount of Spam content the message contains and this new “knowledge” is automatically sent to all the other SPAM INSPECTOR users on the network. A Spam attack can be stopped within the first wave, not after 10,000,000 junk emails have been sent out."
I recommend this software and think it is a rather cool approach to the concept of peer to peer technology. A piece of software worth checking out.
