Rep Power: 0 | Out of 130 e-mails this morning, 120ish were spam, his mail host say they don't have any anti spam measures in place and there's nothing they can do about it, short of moving his email to another host, has anyone used any desktop anti spam products to cut junk mail. Is there any free software that does the job well or is he looking at paying for something? |

Rep Power: 19 | Whats to afford about spam assasin? You just need to set up an old box as a mail relay and you can run spam assasin and something like Clam AV on it. This what im planning to do over summer. |

Rep Power: 0 | Thanks for the suggestions guy's but they all look like they sit on the mail server. I was after something that sits on the desktop machine and scans as the mail is pulled down from the mail server. Quote:
Any ideas? | |

![]() | I agree with Webman, get Mailwasher. On a personal note, I also find the junk mail filter in Outlook 2003 quite effective. |

Rep Power: 0 | Am I missing something here? Doesn't Mailwasher just show you what email you have and let you delete it before downloading it from the server? That's not really much different from deleting it from the Inbox. Or does Mailwasher make some decision and rate the mail as spam etc? |

http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ After a week or so of training, this left my mailbox pretty much spam free despite 1000 odd spams a week (yes, bright spark that I am, I used my email address as my userid on Ebay for a while) | |

Rep Power: 0 | PopFile looks like it will do the job! I'll suggest it to them and see how it goes. Thanks for your suggestions! |
