| Anti-Spam Part Three |
Here are a few high quality anti-spam programs to look into. Keep in mind that you need to carefully read the information on each program before you install it, and note that if you have any questions about the program, check out the support section for each program.
SpamBayes Filter for Outlook (Click Here to Download) - This is an Anti-Spam program/filter collection that works to filter out spam based on semi artificial intelligence. You'll have to train it to work for you, but once you do, it's pretty good at defeating spam, and it's free! You'll certainly want to visit the Spambayes homepage to read all about it, including how to install it. Copy and paste this link into your browser: spambayes.sourceforge.net/
Spam Assassin (Click Here to Download) Spam Assassin is a free add in for Microsoft's Outlook that filters spam based on the anti-spam tools found at Spamassassin.org. Here's the link to Spam Assassin's Sourceforge page to find out more details: sourceforge.net/projects/saoutlook/
Abuse- (Click Here to Download) Abuse is not so much a program to prevent spam, but a program to exact revenge on a spammer. It analyzes a given message, attempts to discern the ISP the message was sent from, and automatically sends a complaint letter to the Internet Service Provider. You'll want to read more about abuse before you use it at The Abuse Home page on Sourceforge: sourceforge.net/projects/spam-abuse (cut and paste the address into your browser)
SpamResearchCenter Challenge/Response (Click to Download): This is a program that forces anybody who emails you to verify their identity by blocking all incoming mail and requesting the sender respond to an email query about their identity - once they send that in, and you okay it, the program will let email through from that person. Be sure and read the SpamResearchCenter info page on the program so you'll know how to run it. Copy this link into your browser: www.SpamResearchCenter.com |
