If I look at the market there are dozends or even hundreds of Anti-Spam-tools
available for POP3 eMail filtering.
What I am missing are comparisons resp. tests between all these Anti-Spam tools.
What are the detection rates for a set of lets say 10000 typical eMails ?
How much is the percentage of false positives (=non-spam eMails which are classifed as spam)
Does someone know such a comparison web page ?

Stop SPAM! Create two mail rules in OE.
_First rule:_
A. In "Select the conditions for your rule" click "Where the from line
contains people", click "contains people", click Address Book, click
the first name, shift-click the last, click "From" button, click OK.
B. In "Select the actions for your rule", click "Stop processing more
rules". This will let everyone in your address book fall through to
your Inbox.
C. Name the rule "Pass".
_Second rule:_
A. In "Select the conditions for your rule" click "For all messages"
B. In "Select the actions for your rule", click "Delete it".
C. Name the rule "Delete".
You might want to set OE to delete the Deleted Items folder every time
you close OE. One disadvantage: You might have to close OE in a hurry
sometimes before you have a chance to check for missed messages.
Advantages:
1. No SPAM! No amount of filtering by sender or subject matter will
prevent spammers; they use a different subject and address every few
days. But this setup prevents ALL SPAM from fictitious addresses.
2. Few Viruses! Only viruses from those who have your email address in
their address book.
Disadvantages:
1. You'll have to look in the Deleted Items folder for blocked email. If
you find a mail you actually want, just drag it into the Inbox till you
add that address to the Pass filter.
2. To add addresses to the filter, you'll have to edit it, click
"contains people", click "Address Book" again, and add any new
addresses. That can be an occasional nuisance, but otherwise you'll be
creating many mail rules for SPAM.
