Anti-Spam Software

The current flood of junk email in our inboxes doesn't seem to be slowing down. Anti spam software is becoming an essential part of everyday online life. Not only do you have to worry about hackers, viruses and spyware we also have to deal with dozens, hundreds or even thousands of pieces of spam email turning up each day.

There are different types of anti spam software - stand alone, integrated, server and web based.

A stand alone program filters out the spam before you start your email application e.g. Mailwasher Pro.

The integrated model installs and works in conjunction with your existing email program e.g.

Spam Bully

The server version installs directly onto a company email server and deletes the spam there.

Last but not least is the web based version. Web based anti spam software checks email being sent to you and removes the annoying spam before you ever see it. A great example of a web based spam filter is Spam Arrest.

Some standard features you can expect to see in most anti spam software are:

Friends list - allow email only from specific addresses

Enemies list - block all email from these addresses automatically.

Report - send information on the spammer back to their ISP.

POP3 and SMTP support - these are standard email protocols that 99% of spam fighting programs use.

Multiple accounts - a good anti spam program will help you block spam from more than one email account.

Import blacklists - allows you to add ready made lists of known spammers to to your software. This greatly increases the effectiveness of your anti spam software.

Many people ask "Why should I use anti spam software?". There are 3 important reasons why:

Time - the average person spends 30 - 90 minutes per day deleting spam.

Safety - 75% of viruses are delivered via spam. Deleting or filtering the spam you're receiving keeps your computer safe.

The cause - the more spam you report, block, filter or delete the less money the spammers make. We all need to take positive action against spam.

Anti spam software gives you control over your email again. No more searching through dozens of spammy emails trying to find the one you're looking for. Take control of your inbox again by investing in a decent anti spam software package.
