Guide Review - AntiSpamWare 2.0 - Spam Filter
The basic ingredient for a solid anti-spam program are flexible filters, but the best tool is of no use if it is difficult to use.
AntiSpamWare avoids that by providing a simple and easy interface to all its functions. These include black and white lists, and a long list of useful predefined filters. Adding your own filters shouldn't be difficult either, and the ability to complain about spam to the spammer's ISP is certainly a plus.
Unfortunately, AntiSpamWare's filters are simple content filters without scoring or adaptive statistics, thus not precise enough and producing (too) many false positives. Online updates that automatically keep the filters up to date with the latest spammers would be nice, too.
