Featured in PC Magazine May 7, 2002 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."


Featured in Time Magazine July 30, 2001 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 Arrest - challenge/response anti-spam

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!
