My Recommended tool for Spam

Some of us get a lot of spam. The tool I use to reduce spam is called MailWasher Pro. It has been around for 14 years and is widely used and respected. I recommend it. It has over 8 million users.

What it does

Mailwasher Pro peeks into your email server and picks up some of each email's information. Subject, header, some source, and a set number of lines of text. Then it checks with some online sources for information about it, checks your friends list and black lists, any filters you might have made, and its own learning about what you consider good or spam. This is added up and an evaluation number is produced for that email. A sorted list of the emails is then displayed.

Assuming you sort by spam likelihood, after a couple weeks of learning, it'll catch almost all of your spam and shove them down the list and label as spam and your good emails to the top and label as good. There might be a couple in the middle it is unsure of.

You then make any adjustments you want and click "Wash". Mailwasher then deletes the emails you consider spam and launches your email program so you can read them, without the spam ever getting to your email program. If you made a mistake, you can access your recycle bin and pull the mistakenly deleted emails out of trash.
