Spam Filter

What spam or junk mail filter do you use?

I use Outlook 2002 with Outlook Spam Filter. It is super easy and my inbox stays clean. It has a data of spam that it looks for and you can add new unwanted "Add to Enemies" or "Add to Friends" to that data.

Very easy I been using it starting around 2003. It's only one time $29

It is now called, SpamAid http://www.spamaid.com/

First I have Spam Assassin at the server level. It's free with my hosting account. Then I run Thunderbird for the mac. It has a built in Spam "Junk" Feature that really cleans up the ones that slip by.

If I don't have them running.. I get thousands per day.

I know everybody don't like are use MS Outlook, But in 2003 I tried some free software and didn't like them. With Outlook itself it has a small config for spam, but didn't work that well.
With this Outlook plugin of Spam Filter (SpamAid) I loved it.

I know now that there are alot more software out there. Thought I would see what everybody else is using.

Ditto on the Spam Assassin. Does a pretty decent job.

Years ago.. I switched from the mac version of ms outlook to thunderbird and love it. I never throw away valid emails or communication with a client. I can instantly access email back to 1999 and it's paid off countless times.

So you can imagine that this database can grow fairly large over time. The micrsoft product just couldn't handle it any longer.. so enter Thunderbird. After it converted everything it.. it handles the massive mail database like a pro and has great spam abilities as a bonus.

Highly recommended and gets 5 stars from the MacUser.
