242771 2004-06-08 08:01:00 The last comments on antispam filtering I can find is from Nov last year. Are there any new opinions as to good (not necessarily free) software. I am with Slingshot but it appears all they do is tell me it's spam but I can do that for free. I would prefer it is intercepted and bounced, or sent straight to a spam folder where I could check its authenticity later. I run Windows xp and Outlook XP. We have five Slingshot e-mail accounts and I have one through nzoom and math.com

Many thanks,
Berniel

If you go to www.orcon.net.nz you can sign up for a free e-mail (several in fact with free web space with no adds etc etc etc) This/these account(s) are scanned for Virus's (has never failed me) and can also be set to block SPAM on different levels of strength you may call it. It is totaly free and pretty succesful.

hope that helps

or you could use Mail Washer

242777 2004-06-12 07:13:00 The problem with filters is that one man's spam is another man's message.
With mail washer you can preview and/or delete mail before you download it, thereby avoiding virae etc.

Yes. You can look at the plain text content, then either delete it, bounce back, mark to be flagged as bad for future .. or all 3 options.
