StevenUnderwood Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I just did a quick search and found this page comparing several different products. Keep in mind that this page is presented by one of the products, but you can always use the names of the products to investigate individually. http://spampal.spxs.net/comparison-chart.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1000 Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 ok thanx.... i use spambully ,that integrates with my oulook express. but im sure there are better....but doesnt that goes for everything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenUnderwood Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I also just looked up the spambully program you mentioned in the other thread...and it seems to have Realtime Blackhole List capability which is the same thing. Looking at it, I would disable: Bounce messages from known spammers. Query emails can be sent to unfamiliar emailer. *Outlook only. You would enter bl.spamcop.net to use the spamcop bl with this application. In fact, I am going to add it to my personal list of "programs to investigate" for my users who need help at home.

moonbroth Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 I am going to add it to my personal list of "programs to investigate" for my users who need help at home. Steven, I set up SpamBully for a friend who uses Outlook Express*, and he has had no complaints. (He had a huge volume of inbound spam). I completely agree about disabling the bounce and challenge-response systems. My wife has the SpamBayes MS Outlook add-in protecting her inbox. That also works very effectively. Cheers, Nick * (yes, I know, "friends don't let friends use OE...") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillG Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 is there a kind of blacklist or whatever that i can use/import to my mailclient....? 13480[/snapback] I suggest using whitelist centric strategy, because spam are only from strangers. If you use blacklist, efficiency will be very low, because spammers typically uses fake addresses. RBL etc will also cause too many false positives. SpamWeed is a very good client side spam filter, it uses bayesian filter and "beneficiary tracking" technologies along with traditional whitelist/blacklist/keyword list to achieve excellent result. It is very easy to setup and use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dra007 Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Intrestingly that SpamWeed has connections to China, that also happens to be the most criminal and irresponsible source of spam. I wonder if there is a ploy here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlyn Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 It is very sad to say but I would not trust anything coming from china that works with email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenUnderwood Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I too have my questions about this poster pulling up a thread that is 3 months old and pushing a product I have never heard about for his first post ever. I have not, however, checked out this product, sufficiently. Whitelist is NOT the only way to go, in fact, I believe their is no ONLY way, but a combination method is best. Blacklists weed out about 93% of my spam and spamassassin (spamcop's implementation) weeds out the other 7%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
