Spam Programs - what do you use/recommend?

**Catty1** · 10-06-2007, 10:31 PM

At the company I worked for (am waiting for the buyout and another offer), there is a lot of spam. MS Outlook is our default email (YUCK).

Anyhow, I have used the Rules and other stuff pretty well...but a lot still comes in.

What would you recommend for spam control - freeware or not?
(Freeware for NOW, anyway!)

I have seen SpamAssassin, and loaded it onto my computer....maybe I didn't install it or something, because nothing has happened....

Ideas welcome! Thanks!

http://www.spamfighter.com/Product_Info.asp That one is free for private use, haven't used it (I use Linux) but have heard good things about it.

Don't forget to install it after you download it!

Candace,

I use Spy-bot. It's free and I run it once a week just to be on the safe side. Just go to:

http://www.spybot.com/en/index.html

I haven't had problems since I installed it.

Thanks, Donna - but I think Spybot is for spyware...and not to block spam in email? Maybe there is a version I am not aware of - let me know.

I have a Spybot scan that I do run about once a week.
