Spam is Cancer: Cancer Spam?
Not sure why I’m suddenly starting to get junk email about metastatic colorectal cancer, but… is there an epidemic I don’t know about?
If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC) you might want to take some time to learn as much as you can about this condition and how to stay actively involved through the course of treatment. Facing MCRC is a program that provides you with access to reliable information about colorectal cancer and its treatment options. Facing MCRC can also help you talk with your doctor and care team about your condition and ways to manage your treatment and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Normally, I wouldn’t see this kind of junk mail - but I’ve been relying on Outlook’s lackluster spam filter (instead of my trusty SpamBayes). Dunno. I understand getting spam about lifestyle pills and whatnot, but isn’t spam about cancer taking it a bit too far?

It’s wild, POPFile is installed on both computers and handles my email for feedback, standard correspondence and spam.
It has a 98% success rate overall.
So yeah, you ought to stick with Spambayes, it’s way better than anything Outlook is going to give you.

[...] Based on what Chris Pirillo had to say about SpamBayes , which doesn’t seem to have been updated since March of 2005. The installation on Vista had no problems and Outlook 2007 looked like it worked well, but the training process was painful and it kept yanking my email all over the place with to many false positives. Each time I would shutdown and restart outlook my data file had to be repaired. [...]

Even though I’m someone you know who recently got diagnosed with colorectal cancer, I PROMISE I didn’t tell any spammers about it. :) I really have no idea why they’d get you on their list. Kinda spooky, actually.
