Anyone here use ChoiceMail for junk mail blocking?

If you're reading this thread and don't know what ChoiceMail is I'll explain briefly. The program basically checks incoming mail and bounces a message back that makes the user confirm he/she is a real user. It also lets the client approve people also so in one sense they can let whatever they want come into their Inbox in Outlook. It also gives the sender the flexibility to add themselves based on the premise that most spammers won't take the time to answer the return message claiming they are real.

If anyone or their company uses ChoiceMail, I'm curious if they have run into an e-mail with no sender nor any subject line. In this case, I think CM can't check the sender against white/black lists and can't filter based upon subject line. I've received multiple (no, more like 20 e-mails) that have just flown straight through this ChoiceMail system. Has anyone encountered this?

Never used(heck, never heard of) ChoiceMail before, but couldn't you just create a rule to send email with no subject to the deleted items folder?

Sounds like a cool program though, thanks 🙂

Taylor Guitars (worlds largest acoustic guitar manufacturer) uses this system so I got the idea to try it out myself. Here's an article for it: http://www.securitymanagement.com/library/001789.html
