Guide Review - Spam Buster 1.10.2 - Spam Filter

Spam Buster is a very practical anti-spam tool. It comes with many predefined filters, but you can easily add flexible ones yourself. It can automatically delete spam and viruses directly at the server, or ask you before doing that.

The interface is not perfect and not pretty, but — and this is more important — it is quite easy to use. One aspect of the interface is not practical, however: Spam Buster only displays the messages of one account at a time.

Fortunately, this is not true for the quite interesting spam/email statistics, which can cover all emails received at all accounts and which are about the only gimmick in this hands-down, useful program.
