Guide Review - Filter Breeze by CleanMyMailbox 1.00
Spam filters are good if they catch spam, but bad if they mistakenly classify your newsletter as spam and filter it away before the intended recipient sees it. Often, simple key words and phrases are enough to raise a red flag with a spam filter.

Filter Breeze by CleanMyMailbox is a tool to raise that flag and alert you about wording that may cause your mailing to be spam filtered. Analyzing your message is a simple process: paste it, click a button, see what bad words it contains.

Unfortunately, the process is really a bit too simple: Filter Breeze looks for triggers only and applies no advanced filtering or scoring. It is a lot less smart than many anti-spam tools, but can still provide some useful hints what to avoid.
