Description
Guide Review - Spam Arrest - Spam Filtering ServiceTrashing all mail from unknown senders is a somewhat aggressive, but very effective way to eliminate spam. If you want to employ this method and keep your Inbox clean of practically all junk mail, Spam Arrest is a solid and flexible choice. Spam Arrest works as a web-based service requiring little maintenance.Fetching new mail from up to three POP, IMAP or Hotmail accounts every two minutes, Spam Arrest automatically removes mail from blocked senders. Unknown senders get a challenging message which they can use to authorize. Alternatively, you can authorize senders manually. In addition to protecting existing accounts, Spam Arrest also gives you a brand new email address plus 1 GB of online storage and a usable if a bit slow web-based email service to use it. Unfortunately, Spam Arrest suffers from the problems of challenge/response architectures. The challenging messages can be annoying or puzzling to individual senders and a real challenge to legitimate bulk mailers, and if spammers use a sender you have approved they'll get through without problems.
