SpamPal works 99.99% for me, and it keeps statistics and a log to show what
it's doing. It's pretty automatic with Outlook Express, and all you have to
do is set up one filter in OE.

Thank you for your answer. Can you please take one more step and tell me how
this filter is set up in OE?

Dunno. Haven't used OE since early versions. Sorry!

Could someone please give Martyn a hint or 2 on setting OE filters?

In Outlook Express you edit your account, incoming mail server: localhost,
username yourusername@yourmailserver

SpamPal has instructions on how to do all this. Personally I switched
from SpamPal to K9 and am very pleased. K9 also uses much less
resources and doesn't need to download new blacklists. K9 will
configure your e-mail client and set it back if you choose.

I have used Spampal for the last 8-9 months and I love it. It was not hard
to set up and I am using poptray with it inbetween the spampal and Courier
(which use to be Calypso) It works wonderfully and once it is trained you
will have no problems with it. They have a wonderful group including the
programmer on thier board and also an email group to help with problems.
Great set of FAQ and help files as well.

K9...is that program also sorting emails automaticaly (like SpamPal...spam goes
to defined folder), or is it just used for a preview on server?

It sorts into a Spam folder if you set up mail rules to do that. Otherwise
it will probably sent them to the Trash mailbox. They are downloaded to the
computer.

I take that back. I think it can do both. There seems to be a
configuration option to view on server and delete the ones you don't want
before downloading.
