OT - not airplanes but short - good anti spam program
Folks, this ain't spam -- honest. Pleeeease don't flame me.
Some of us have email addresses in public websites, so we are unavoidably plagued by spam. It's even worse at my "day job", where I get spam every 10 minutes or less, easily a hundred a day. I saw "SpamArrest" reviewed favorably in a recent Consumers Reports and at http://email.about.com/cs/spamfilter...pam_arrest.htm It's free, and seems to work pretty well. Fussy to configure, but it is now busily filling my "Spam" folder with crap. Not much gets through. It's made by the same folks who make an email program called "Bloomba" that I know absolutely nothing about. I use Outlook Express. Bloomba is not needed to to run SpamArrest.

Netscape just released a new version of Communicator that has anti spam
software. I have had it installed for a few days now and is it effective. All the spam goes to the junk folder. It hasn't made a mistake yet. Duane MacInnis wrote: Folks, this ain't spam -- honest.

It hasn't made a mistake yet. Difficult to beat SpamAssassin running on the MX though... SA is rules-based, and can use several other features (such as the Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse, which compares messages received by large numbers of people to detect 'bulkiness') along with the Spamhaus blackhole list (which only lists the worst spam offenders, when it comes to RBLs, I don't want to use one that's too agressive). This combination is highly effective and it means I don't even need to download the spam to have it filtered by my mail program. The DCC alone finds about 80% of the spam - the rule set gets the rest. -- Dylan Smith, Castletown, Isle of Man Flying: http://www.dylansmith.net Frontier Elite Universe: http://www.alioth.net "Maintain thine airspeed, lest the ground come up and smite thee" |
