Client Side Anti Spam
Tools Brett Glass states
Spam Buster "... does not
have to download the entire
message from your mailbox,
which makes it faster than
[the competitors], and also
prevents a server that
removes mail once it's been
retrieved from deleting mail
that's been checked before
you actually download
it." |

Don't Swallow the
Spam Chris Taylor states
Spam Buster is "... a
leading software
tool...[that] tap[s] quietly
into your e-mail server
every few minutes to check
new messages against a
blacklist of known spammers
and subject lines. I was
impressed by the range of
their
databases." |
This version of Spam
Buster is time limited and will
expire afer 30
uses.
Or if you wish to try the
special challenge-response spam manager try
this:
Spam Buster
requires a POP3 email account
such as provided from a local
internet service provider and does
not support proprietary email such as
AOL , Compuserve, MSN, Juno, or
web-based mail accounts such as
Yahoo, or
Hotmail.
To use Spam Buster you
customize the filters for selecting
exactly which emails you want
deleted. Based upon your filters you
can keep get rich quick schemes and
pornographic email out of your email
box. It's easy to add new filters to
the list to keep out the ever growing
realm of junk email. Spam Buser
uses DNS lookup to validate the
domain name portion of the email
address. Spam Buster scans up to 12
unique email accounts and can run in
the background through the system
tray, checking your email
periodically for new messages every
so many minutes. Spam Buster even
provides comprehensive statistics and
charts of how often you're getting
spammed!
How does Spam Buster
work?
Run Spam Buster before
your email program as the first line
of defense against the junk. Spam
Buster compares the email message,
header information, sender, and size
to the spam settings you've defined
to see if the message is spam. Then
Spam Buster even checks the sender
against a blacklist of known
spammers. (A more detailed
description can be found in the
FAQ's.)
Spam Buster displays
the email with a red checkmark
indicating they are spam, a question
mark if the mail appears to be spam,
and those on the exception list (such
as your friends) with a special icon.
Should you decide that some of the
messages not marked with a red check
mark are spam, you can flag them for
future spam detection. Of course you
can unmark any message marked as spam
too. Then launch your email program
to retrieve and read the "clean"
email. Since Spam Buster does NOT
download the entire message it is
much quicker than using your normal
email program which will actually
have to retrieve the entire message
including any
attachments.
Spam Buster can be set
to automatically delete spam and to
check for messages every x minutes
and also to launch into the email
program automatically - a great
feature for busy email
accounts!
