Things are just not that simple. Online checking at the server is never (well I don't know all the apps ofcourse) evaluating every byte of the email under research. Only header-information and a part of the regular mail part are involved (also the case with mailwasher; you can even tune the amount of mail-lines to analyse). Ofcourse local processing is quick but all af the message comes across to your pc. That is much more load than only the header-information and only a limited part of the regular message. Using broadband connections the downloading will not delay that much anymore like you stated, but analysis is the same, both ways it happens on your pc (only the deleting will be at the server i.e. the processing result will effect the server. In case of complete downloading deleting happens locally too). So when messages are bigger and using attachments it is more efficient to download just a part of the message and do the analysis locally, even with broadband-connection, though you might not notice it that much. You must have been under the assumption that the analysis is at the server too, but it isn't in both cases. Filtering after downloading all of the mail is less efficient.]]> Sun, 29 Jun 2008 17:30:55 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/antispam-scanner/#comment-55901
