EEMA has found a new role

EEMA was founded in 1987 as the European Electronic Messaging Association, mirroring the now defunct EMA.  EEMA has continued with a loyal group of supporters and shifted focus with industry trends.   It's focus is now Electronic Identity, and we recently attended the two day European e-Identity Conference in The Hague.

EEMA is outsourcing its operations, which is working well.  This change has restored its finances to a sound footing.    There are regular meetings around Europe and special interest groups.

There was an attendance of almost 200, and a good selection of worthwhile talks.   Corporate membership is low cost, and worth considering for organizations and individuals interested in Electronic Identity.

M-Switch Anti-Spam False Negative Rate Graph Update

As mentioned in previous posts (Blog post May 9th 08 and Blog post May 14th 08) we have been paying particular attention to the False negative rate of the copy of M-Switch Anti-Spam running here at Isode's offices. We wrote a whitepaper on our findings:

“Measuring the False Negative Rate for Isode’s M-Switch Anti-Spam.”

The whitepaper included graphs showing the daily quantities of Spam we received and the daily False Negative rate going back over 4 months (up to 30th April). We always intended to keep these graphs up to date so that they would continue to track M-Switch's performance and today we've updated them to include May's figures.

We will continue to update these graphs, at the end of each month, so that they always show current data.

Steve will be speaking on Day 2 of the Conference, which is being organized by EEMA and taking place in The Museum of Communication in The Hague. More information on EEMA and registration details for the conference can be found here
