What's the best spam-filtering software that works with Outlook 2000 ??

I HATE SPAM!!
I check 6 different accounts through Outlook and each day I must receive about 60 spam messages.

I've finally decided that I can't take it anymore! :|

I haven't found anything that works well. The best I've found was that company (I forget the name right now) that filters for you. You create an account on their site and point your mail reader at it. When you go to retrieve your mail it grabs it from your ISP (you have to tell them your username/password) and runs it through their spam filter then delivers it to your reader. It works well if you can deal with the delay. I can't remember the name but it's one of those big companies that sell spam filters to corporations and they offer (or did) their service to individuals for free.

try this unique type of email notification program that allows you to preview, delete or bounce wanted and unwanted messages.
it detects spam, keeps a record of bounced emails (tags them as blacklisted), and allows you to read the email before downloading
it (assuming you want to afterwards).

mailwasher


<< MailWasher analyses each email as it arrives and warns you if it is suspected junkmail or a virus by heuristic checking and
filtering. The standard status categories are - Normal, Virus, Possibly virus, Possibly spam, Probably spam, Chain letter, Blacklisted,
MAPS RBL.
>>




<< Any emails you bounce back get their senders details put on the blacklist for easy removal if they come back. You can even set
it to immediately bounce and delete blacklisted emails off the server.
>>




<< Effective filtering to automatically spot spam, plus it uses the Mail Abuse Prevention System?s Realtime Blackhole List to filter out
potential spammer addresses.

Not to sound like a pimp or anything... :p

SpamKiller has made my life sooo much easier! I was getting anywhere from 10-40 spams per day in my main account alone, and now they're lucky if they can sneak two past me! You can customize filters, in addition to the 100+ pre-installed filters, and it'll check for new filter rules at their home page daily.
