Guide Review - Aliencamel - Spam Filtering and Email Account ServiceWould you like an alien camel to drink your desperately needed water? Spam is a lot like this alien camel, and Aliencamel employs simple yet very elegant and highly effective measures to ban it.
Only mail from authorized senders is allowed to your Aliencamel Inbox. So far, so well-known. But Aliencamel is no service that forces new senders to authorize by responding to what is often only too aptly named "a challenge". You can and have to whitelist them all yourself. Isn't this a lot of work, and don't you have to go through all the spam anyway? No, because Aliencamel filtering to suggest what to do with pending mail. Thanks to scoring and personally trained Bayesian statistics, the suggestions are surprisingly good. Comprehensive virus scanning comes as an additional bonus, and Aliencamel allows you to create up to five disposable addresses. Mail to these addresses always gets through (useful for Bccing yourself without having to whitelist yourself, for example), but it's easy to disable a disposable address if it gets in the hands of spammers. Aliencamel IMAP access is a joy to use and recommended, but POP is also available, and you can always check your Aliencamel account via the web-based interface. There's also a special kick to using Aliencamel: you get unlimited storage for truly all the emails you want to keep. Though the web interface and searching archived mail could improve, it is difficult to praise this once-and-for all email account too much.
