Guide Review - Spam Xploder - Spam Filtering Service
Bayesian spam filters are great. There's just one problem: to analyze the whole message, you have to download the whole message.
Spam Xploder is an elegant email service that solves this by putting the Bayesian filter right at the server. You can have the junk marked in the Subject or moved to a special folder. Accessing and training Spam Xploder mail is easy via the web, but what if you want to use your desktop email client? Then Spam Xploder lets you classify mail via drag and drop in a small tool.
Unfortunately, this currently only works with Outlook and Outlook Express. Spam Xploder comes with a general idea of what spam and good mail look like even before you train it. This gets you started quickly, but accuracy may suffer a bit.
