Spam detection is now a necessary component of your online security and privacy protection. With email communication quickly becoming filled with more spam than legitimate communication, you cannot afford not to protect your mailbox with the SPAM DESTROYER. If you are tired of the frustration of receiving more spam than real email, download the trial, and find out why the Spam Destroyer is one of the most downloaded and used anti-spam software available.

So reads (more or less) the blurb for just one of the many products on the market claiming to be the solution to unwanted email.

However, if you want something that really works, is inexpensive, easy to set up and very effective, try Mailshield by Lyris.

I have used SpamDetective (the predecessor of Mailshield) for several years and found it just excellent. Every time the cretins who send junkmail find a new way to bypass filtering software, it takes just a few seconds to feed the data in to SpamDetective and presto! - no more spam from that particular lowlife. Same goes for virus detection - once the program is set up to recognise typical virus signatures, all the worms and trojans are despatched to the sin bin for deletion.

And no worries about accidental deletions or false detection - the sin bin stores all suspect emails for final verification - a glance at the list, click any that you need to retrieve - then another click and all the spam is gone.

Believe it or not, with this program, foiling the spammers is fun!

And the best part - none of the rubbish ever makes it to your email inbox - all the work is done externally - and much of it is done automatically!
 
 

MailWasher - Highly Recommended
Got Spam?

NO MORE SPAM

A similar program is MailWasher, which has the advantages of being both faster and free! (Well, it used to be free - now you pay) It's what I now use, in conjunction with Spamarrest server based filtering. Spamarrest is a paid solution used by many hosting companies and ISPs. If your ISP is not using something like this, best ask them why not!

I have as much sympathy for spammers as I have for cane toads. Both are a curse on the environment and should be put down as humanely as possible.
