Are any of you familiar with BrightMail? My ISP recommended it for sifting out spam, in fact I think they may be using it after a May 9th upgrade, as it is offered to ISP's, too.

Apparently your email goes through their site filters first and anything suspect gets held in a cache for you to look at at your leisure, while all deemed worthy gets passed on to your mailbox. I would be interested except I'd like to know more about privacy and whether they gather info and use it to market or whatever. I have not explored their site, yet, so I don't know.

Thanks,
