Best Spam Blocker?

Hi,

what is the best free spam blocker/filter to use with Outlook Express
running under W98?

Thanks in advance,


CJ

The best "free" option is to complain to your ISP and have them get a
Spam filter in place. Sadly that may be an uphill battle.
Mailwasher is your best bet, it removes the e-mail right from the server
so your not wasting time downloading it first.
Another product I love is called Ihatespam by sunbeltsoftware.com, it
takes two or three weeks (depending on number of messages) to get it to
catch 99% of the spam but after that you will wonder what you did without
it. Alas it isn't free (19.95) but you can try it free for 30 days.

No spam filter is going to get them all, all the time - spammers will change
things constantly to try to defeat them. That said, I would prefer
http://www.spampal.org/

if I used filters.

"It's written by a nanaeite, James Farmer, who is as white-hat as they come. Not
all companies and people offering filters or "anti-spam" software are. Some are
spammers themselves."

 

It is worth crossposting spam related questions to
news.admin.net-abuse.email, which I have done for you in this instance.

In my opinion it is Spam Bully

 

What is?

What is it?

 

Thank you for the idea, I have just downloaded and installed Mailwasher.
What I have seen so far, I like.
Thanks,

You can't go wrong with spampal.
http://www.spampal.org/

It has a bayesian plugin, and (most importantly), it's free.

 

I use a product called Mailwasher and I find it very satisfactory.
I have added quite a few customised filters, not too hard to do; and
I would rate it as 99% effective, with a very low "false positive"
rate.
Please remove "nospam" from mailto address

Hello,

I like SPAM Crusher http://www.messaging-software.net/spam-killer-software.htm

I strongly recommend a Diamalloy SL-56 or a Stanley 84-121

You're very welcome. Just remember never to reply to or try to
unsubscribe from any Spam message, doing so only lets them know your
address is valid and compounds the problem.

Speaking of Mailwasher, I use MWPro, but haven't figured out how to hide
emails that are indicated as blacklisted. Does anyone know how to do this,
because I prefer not to see them at all. Every one of my filters uses the
"do not display" option, but I cannot find a way to "not display"
blacklisted addresses.
