[dba-Tech] RE: [AccessD] OT - Spam Blocker

I highly recommend K9.  It is a Bayesian filter and it is a POP mail proxy,
meaning it actually loads the email from your email server, works through it
looking for Spam, and if found places the text [SPAM] or something similar
in the subject.  You can then use the rules of your email client to sort
that email out to a Spam folder.  Since it is a proxy it is usable with many
different email clients including Outlook and Outlook Express.  I used it
for both until I found Spambayes which I now use for Outlook.

K9 is freeware and as John has also found, does an excellent job.
>From www.keir.net:
"I've received comments from users of my software expressing interest
in offering some kind of payment in recognition of the usefulness and
quality of the programs. Whilst all of my software is freeware and
there is absolutely no obligation to offer anything in return for its
use, if you feel you would like to make a donation in the amount of
your choice to inspire me to create new software and enhance current
versions then by all means feel free to do so!

I have chosen to provide two means to send in donations - the Amazon
Honor System and Paypal. You may choose either one, but Amazon is
limited to U.S. customers only right now. Please click on an image
below to find out more and to send in donations. "
