Hi Jasp.

I'm still using Spamfighter, its good but no where near near perfect.

I still have to go though dozens of spam each day as some DSC stuff makes it into the 'Sin-bin' that shouldn't.

I'm on the free version mind but, its worth a look:

Use Thunderbird for your emails, it contains the BEST free spam filter. And as it's also one of the best email software...

you can download it at www.mozilla.com

MailWasher gets my vote. Run it before collecting your email and it will go through and mark everything it thinks is spam. Check the selection and then hit a button and its gone.

It can work of various spam lists as well, eg spamhaus.org, so it picks up known spamming sources which is where most of the junk comes from.

Its free, simple to use, works on multiple accounts, and you get to keep your current email program too.

If anyone has any experience of software that operates at Server level it could well ease some of our headaches !!!

I've installed and configured SpamAssassin for my company. Works not bad.

If using MS Exchange, I'd have no hesitation in recommending GFI MailEssentials. Great product.

If you're prepared to pay, the Pro version is even better!

I've been using MailWasher Pro for over two years now - I just couldn't manage without it these days! Cost is less than $40 so it's not a lot to pay for a much easier life!
