~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4. FEATURE: Spam, and what you can do about it
If you're like me you get a lot of email. Problem is, a lot of it these days is spam, or unsolicited email. Eudora and Outlook do offer some partial solutions (Moodwatch for one), but the spammers keep finding ways around these filters. Enter add-on spam products.
Here are two products that filter spam, Spam Assassin and Spamfire. Spam Assassin is targeted at UNIX users and Spamfire, from Matterform Media is a Mac application that claims a 98% success rate. A Windows version is in the works. For more information goto:
