Free Anti Spam Software

Just downloaded some Anti Spam software and it seems pretty good. Works with "IMAP" type mail boxes which a lot fail to do. Anyway for me it works better than Norton and McAfee the 2 main leaders in this sort of thing. Best of all its FREE!!

If you want to take a look at it here's the link

http://www.spamihilator.com/

EDIT: Despite what it says on the site it is working fine with my IMAP account.

www.fastmail.fm if anyone wants a decent mail provider (again for free)

    Yep, I've been using it for a while now and find it very good. It will filter most spam mail out "as is", or you can tinker with the settings if you feel confident to filter even more out.

    The filtered-out emails get deleted every few days automatically, so you can instal it and forget it if you so wish. Recommended.

    I tried the link in the OP and it didn't work - should it be "www.spamannihilator.org" ?
    Not even wrong

    No - link works fine for me. Have you tried copying and pasting the link into your browser's address bar?

    I'd recommend Spampal as another option. Been using it trouble free for a few years.
