255299 2004-07-25 04:34:00 Hi,

My friend and I have been getting so much Spam lately in our e-mail box that we have decided to install software that will help us deal with this problem.

Does anyone know of some reliable ratings that have been judged and recommended. I have heard of so many, I'm just confused and would like some advise on this subject before we purchase any software.

Thanks for your help.

Jean

255301 2004-07-25 06:55:00 Two thoughts:
Some of the larger ISPs have spam filters in their servers but you have to activate them. Xtra's one is very good.

Secondly, Mailwasher, a Kiwi invention, is very well-regarded. There is a free version. Google it.

I am with extra and though it is true to say it filters a lot of spam,I still get at least 10 a day,that is over and above that which is filtered.

255307 2004-07-28 09:09:00 Spampal is good thats what I use. You can add entire ISP's to a whitelist and blacklist. Or individual ppl. Its free. And works with most email programs. All you have to do is set a rule and pick whatever option u want. Ive configured it so it deletes spam straight from the server. Saves me downloading it and then deleting it. Spacemannz (808)
