Anti Spam Software Recommendations

[Allan Waghalter]

I have been using Polesoft since seeing the tag line on Bob Campbell's
posting. It is actually quite good. Better that "I hate Spam" and
"Spamblocker". Before plunking down $50 for the full version that doesn't
post its own referral at the bottom of each outgoing mail, I was wondering
what other group members are using. I see that Zone Alarm's spam blocker is
highly rated as is Norton

Just a question to anyone using either of these two. When you elect to
block an e-mail that got through, does it automatically take it out of the
inbox and put it in a "Spam" folder? How about when you want to unblock and
e-mail. Will it take the e-mail out of the blocked folder and put it back
in the inbox? When clearing your blocked folder, where does the message go?
Deleted folder or permanently deleted?

Thanks for the input,
Allan


I choose Polesoft Lockspam to fight spam, and you?

I use Office 2003's spam killer. Tag an email or server and it
automatically goes into the "junk mail" folder for disposal. Every once
in a while I take a peek through the folder before I delete it to see if
there's any really *hot* specials on Viagra though. ;-)

I switched to Mozilla Thunderbird mail client. GREAT Junk Filtering.
Just mark them as Junk as you see them and now 99% of my e-mail in my
inbox is legitimate.

I just use the one built into Outlook 2003, seems to work fine. Before that
I used Mail Washer

Unfortunately Outlook's filtering isn't terribly adaptive.
Mozilla/Thunderbird will "learn" somewhat from what you mark as spam;
Outlook has only an "Add sender to blocked senders."

I'm not sure, but maybe it is...99% of my spam doesnt end up in my
Inbox...it ends up in Junk Mail box.
And, I know I'm kinda too lazy to do much adding to the block senders
rules...so dunno.

If you're using Outlook, this one is the one I'm using. Saves me gobs of
time
wading through garbage. I like the review feature. Don't think I've ever
missed anything
