Guide Review - SayNoToSpam 2.1 - Spam Filtering Service
Ideally, spam is filtered on the server level, before it reaches your computer. With SayNoToSpam you can use this kind of smart protection with all your POP accounts.
Set up SayNoToSpam (which can be a bit cumbersome if you do it manually) once, and that's about it. All spam will be quarantined on the SayNoToSpam server automatically.
SayNoToSpam can import your address book as a white list, and you can of course review all the spam to spot legitimate mail, but that will hardly ever be necessary. The filters have proven highly efficient against both spam and viruses, but they still leave most desired mail alone and in place.
All in all, SayNoToSpam is an elegant, easy and efficient solution. Now if only Web-based administration would provide platform independence.
