SPAM!
by Dave Wilson on Jun.23, 2003, under Uncategorized
I reached a milestone this week – for the first time ever, I had a day when I received over 200 spam messages on my home email accounts (2 of them combined). This translates to around 98% of my email and I would be a lot happier if these messages were never sent. Thankfully, however, it’s not too much of a problem for me now thanks to a rather good anti-spam tool I’ve been using.
I have been running Cloudmark’s SpamNet since early in its beta program and find that it catches around 90% of my junk mail. More importantly, though, I have NEVER seen an email I wanted to receive misclassified as spam (something that I definitely can’t say about the useless filters built into Microsoft Outlook. SpamNet was free until recently but now it’s $1.99 a month but well worth the price as far as I am concerned.
SpamNet is a client-based tool so I still have to download all the crud before it will filter it for me. With broadband, that’s not a problem but I dread the thought of having to move back to dial-up when we move to the DSL-challenged area of south Austin next year
