Redux of "Blacklists End"

Following up on my earlier blog about spammers tricking blacklists, I received this information from CMS' CEO...

"The diminishing importance of blacklists can be seen from CMS' own experience.

In 2004 we consistently saw DNSBL filtering out 65-75%, but now (2005) that has dropped to 50-55%. This is a significant drop.

Indeed our (
CMS Praetor's) Bayesian filter has been picking up the spam increasing from 10-15% to 25-30% these days".

Case proven... "Blacklists end? Further rise of the Bayesian".
