I have been getting an increasing amount of spam in my email program. Recently I stumbled across a program called "Spamfighter". I decided to give it a try since they do have a free version. I have been very pleasantly surprised by the way it works. Not once have I detected it deleting a valid email. Here is the URL for the website where you can obtain it: http://www.spamfighter.com/. Here are two quotes from the website. "SPAMfighter Standard is a free tool for Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Mail that automatically and efficiently filters spam and phishing fraud." |
"If a SPAMfighter receives a spam mail that is not detected by SPAMfighter, the user reports the spam mail with one click, and it's removed from the rest of the SPAMfighter community in seconds." Spamfighter places all detected spam in a folder called "Spamfighter". There is an option for emptying the spam from the folder when you desire. All spam is deleted without going into the "Deleted Items" folder. |
