Fingerprinting Versus Bayesian Filtering
Overview This paper reviews performance and other criteria of leading open source and commercial applications relevant for network administrators and managers when evaluating their choices between the two general classes of technologies. Specifically, the analysis compares the features of three leading fingerprint systems (eXpurgate, commtouch, and Mailshell) with two filters that employ the Bayesian methods (SpamAssassin and COMDOM Antispam). The analysis suggests that the optimized Bayesian filtering in COMDOM Antispam and its Tachyon Core scanning engine achieve a throughput level at least five times faster than the leading fingerprint bundles, while maintaining the high accuracy rates expected in content filters.
