Recommended by Spews
Three spam filtering programs recommended by Spews (I don't care for their blocklist but their recommendations on filtering software are good :)).
SpamPal, according to its website: How does SpamPal work? SpamPal sits between your email program and your mailbox, checking your email as you retrieve it. Any email messages that SpamPal considers to be spam will be "tagged" with a special header; you simply configure your email client to filter anything with this header into a separate folder and your spam won't be mixed up with the rest of your email anymore!
SpamEater, according to its website: SpamEater is an advanced spam filtering tool that will rid your mailbox of spam before you download it with your mail client software! SpamEater Pro uses a complex set of rules to catch even the most persistent spammers with a 90% or better hit rate! With the amount of spam being sent ever increasing, SpamEater Pro is a tool that you can't afford to be without! Don't fret over waiting for your mail to download with all the spam! Get SpamEater Pro and start stopping it today!
Email Express!, according to its website: The program is a liason between your email program and your POP3 and SMTP servers. The program becomes your email program's mail server. Email Express! can check an email's header information about its routing servers against an aggregate of RBLs, or Realtime Blackhole Lists. RBLs are special lists that contain information about various points of abuse in the email system used by spammers to inject their spam in to the system, and is updated constantly. If a server in the email headers is found in the RBLs then Email Express! can automatically delete them or sequestor them in to a special Access table. The RBLs are accessed by Email Express! in real time. This process is one of the layers of protection that Email Express! offers its users.
SpamPal, SpamEater and Email Express! are available for use at no charge, SpamEater is available in a shareware Pro version with extra features and Email Express! has also added a shareware Pro version. SpamPal also has the ability to include other people's Plugins as part of it's filtering process.
