Any that *do* support Outlook Express?

 

[Doh!]

spampal (freeware but more effective and convinient than McAfee's bloated spam blocker).

Popfile (a project from sourceforge.net that is very configurable but a little more difficult to setup).

Just got spampal setup, no spam to test it on. Thanks for the tip!

The best one that I've used is Mailwasher. Run it before you open Outlook. You can choose which emails to blacklist and it will catch them the next time. Blacklisted emails will be bounced back as undeliverable and deleted from your mailbox. It also has a database of common spam that can be overidden if you want a certain sender (ex: Gamespy).

Unfortunately it doesn't send all the SMTP stuff that "really" gets your name off a list. As I understand it, if there's a human on the receiveing end of your bounce-back, they might take your name off the list. But if it's automated, Mailwasher doesn't send the appropriate message to make that happen. I'm still looking for something that does, that will work for personal use. Seems like the "good ones" are designed for businesses and run into hundreds of dollars to buy.

I do like Mailwasher to clean things up though, and preview what messages you have, so you don't have too much wierd spam on your computer itself.
