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.
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. Plus Spam Buster comes with a
list of over 17,000 known spammers.
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!
