Choosing a Spam Slammer

Several months ago I decided to bite the bullet and make a concerted effort to put a stop to spam and junk email. Believe me when I said I tried many, many spam slammers and junk email blockers. You probably wouldn't be surprised to know that many failed or did not deliver and I continued to get a considerable amount of spam delivered to my inbox every week.

Following this, I spoke to some software experts to get their opinions on the matter. They had spent several weeks trialling, testing and assessing a broad range of spam slammers to discover which were the most effective. In the end though, the results were clear. Of all of the hundreds of anti spam software products that were available, only a handful were effective in stopping spam and junk mail.

Effective Spam Slammers

After weeks of research, it was found that of all the spam slammers that were tested, only a handful were effective in stopping spam.

Spam Slammers

If you are an internet mail user, you will understand that the current flood of spam into our in boxes grows more frustrating every single day. Using a good quality spam slammer or spam blocking program has never been more important. Spam causes massive problems for both business and home users by slowing down systems, and causing incredible frustration.

With so many spam blockers available, it can be very confusing as to which one to use. It seems a new, greatly improved spam slammer gets released every single day of every single month. No doubt you are wondering which one to use, which is the best value for money, and which one is going to stop the most spam. The purpose of this site is to answer some of those questions and inform you as to which spam slammer is the most suitable for your uses.

As an IT manager, I would spend several hours every day attending to emails from my employees regarding spam. Like me, I'm sure you would also be receiving dozens of spam emails every day. You too, have probably wasted countless hours on this junk mail.

Spam. Don't You Hate It?

You've got enough work and other things to do without having to sift through a bunch of worthless, or offensive junk e-mails in your Inbox.

So what can be done about it? What antispam procedures and software really work?

Spam filtering software is the first stop in your antispam campaign, but in some ways it's the easiest to subvert.

Two versions of antispam filtering products are Bayesian and heuristic filters, which try to identify offensive messages through recognition of phrases. SpamAssassin by Apache is probably the best known example of heuristic filtering. What these filters are doing that the more basic ones aren't is looking at the message itself rather than the subject header. Both Bayesian and heuristic filters have shortfalls in that they depend on their filtering reliability on frequency.
