Hi,

I'm looking for Spam Blocking software that will work with OE6. Don't know much about this type of stuff.

Basically, something that will block a sender in real time. I already run Spybot S&D, Spywareblaster, etc.

Spamfighter is the tool you are looking for. Simple, reliable, and efficient. Spamfighter is using the power of more than 450.000 people that instantly report if they receive a spam mail. When several people have reported the same spam mail, it's automatically filtered for the rest of the Spamfighters.

I used Spamfighter for a few months on several systems, and it is extremely unstable. Their support staff is also worthless.

I pay $4 a month for Cloudmark's SpamNet. It is the best spam software I've used to date.

Good morning.

While searching for a new webhosting company (last night...different thread) I noticed some places offer "Spam Fighters" while others don't. There seems to be a significant price difference per month for this. :( I'm considering a few different options right now.

Ironicaly, this is just for me and my piddly little life...not some "Fortune 500" company. :roll:

This day and age we live in is both magical and cursed; we get hit with so much malware that even the lowly end-user has to think like a big company.

What's nice about spamnet, is that it's a network of users, and when enough people have clicked 'block' to an address, it gets added to SpamNet's database of known spammers, and will block it automatically.

they had about 3 or 4 new builds of spamfighter in the past few weeks, their newer releases must be a lil buggy
