Problem with Antispam

Windows XP SP2
ESS Beta 2
Outlook Express

I'm having a lot of problems with the temporary folder 'EsetAntispamTemp'. Files take forever (I have been waiting for over 2 hours) to get processed. Whenever files are marked as "Spam" or "Not Spam", they are not inmediatelly sent to their correct folders. Everything is slowed down, especially if Outlook is configured to download new email frequently (every 4 minutes in my case).

 

Same here on Outlook 2007. But please notice that this is still e beta version

 

Yes, I wasn't expecting the Antispam to be working 100% correctly, since it is one of the less used features.
Strangely, today I got my first BSOD, but was unable to gather the necessary info to report it correctly

 

Use Gmail's own POP3 & SMTP servers - forget spam and spam filters!

 

I have experienced the same types of delays with the anti-spam, although not as long as the OP. I have maybe 2-5 minute delays in processing messages marked as Spam.

Right now, my opinion is that the Antispam is by far the weakest component of the Suite. There is a good chance in the final version that I would disable it.

 

I have to say that the Anti Spam is very dissapointing. Eset's AV has always been great and light on resources. The firewall seems pretty good as well. But the AntiSpam is bad. Whenever emails come in, my computer lags and sometimes temporarily freezes while AS tries to determine what to do with the email. This behavior only happens when AS is enabled.

 

i have also noticed antispam struggling. i've submitted the problems i have experienced to beta support and i am sure this will be working better by the next beta or whatever comes next.

i'm using outlook express here to test it out (usually leave it to thunderbird) and at first it worked great, effectively catching the spam email and leaving the genuines. after a few weeks though it seems to be struggling, it frequently hangs trying to sort the spam (get the temp spam folder in the deleted items folder) then it just crashes, no errors but OE has to be forcefully closed.

i'll go back to thunderbird for now and wait for the next release to test it again.
