Hi:

I hope I can offer some help here -- our local paper ran an article on Spam on the weekend, and listed a whole lot of useful links on the web -- some offer free spam-fighting programs -- so I thought I'd list them because spam is a frustrating problem for anyone with a computer. I'm not making clickies because it's too time-consuming.

http://cloudmark.com.
I'm using this one on a free 30-day trial now, and it's fantastic, but when the trial is up, it's expensive. So I'm going to try Matador by MailFrontier, which is less costly.

Can't speak to the quality of any of these -- as noted, the only one I've tried is Cloudmark, which is just wonderful, but pricey.

Good luck with them -- if anyone finds something good, it would be nice if you post it on this thread.
