Hi Paul

There are many. I'm using MailWasher Pro. Latest version has Bayesian filters and learns from your actions. And it only displays email headers and text - no chance of infection. I have it set to check for emails every30 minutes, I think. then you review what gets there, then it starts your email client. You can make it a little more automatic. Go to <www.firetrust.com> for Pro, <www.mailwasher.net> for a free version without the learning feature. Both let you bounce messages back, although that probably just clogs the 'Net.

A good Windows list, LangaList, has recommendations from time to time. Check out Fred Langa at <www.langa.com>. Archives are to be found there.

Our ISP recommends subscribing to SpamNet. They use a thing called Barracuda to handle things at their end, but things still get through. They even use SpamNet to consider what keywords to filter out. At 06:18 AM 6/5/2004, you wrote:

Hi All,
Just wondering what recommendations you might have for anti spam software that runs on the PC. My ISV is stopping about 150 a day but there are still about 20 or so getting through.
TIA
