Spam Filter

Remember back in 1990, when hardly anybody knew what e-mail was, let alone had an e-mail address? Fast forward to today, when you probably check several e-mail boxes on a regular basis. Most people would agree that the most annoying aspect of e-mail is the spam that frequently clogs your inbox. How do you get rid of spam and avoid phony or fraudulent emails? The answer to your conundrum is an effective spam filter. In this brief guide, we offer a spam filter comparison between two popular anti spam software programs. Visit the website for each program and find out which anti spam program is best for you.

SafetyBar is one antispam Microsoft probably envies. This program does an excellent job of filtering out spam. Perhaps more importantly, it also does well at placing legitimate emails in your inbox. In contrast, a bad spam filtering program is likely to think that some real emails are actually spam and you wouldn't want that pay raise acceptance email or that customer complaint going in your spam folder, would you? Or worse, having legitimate emails deleted for good! SafetyBar relies on a community approach to fighting spam. In other words, when you report a new spam message, SafetyBar adds the spam sender to a block list so that other SafetyBar users won't receive any spam from that address. The big advantage of this approach is that you don't have to spend several hours telling the program what constitutes spam for you. Essentially, if other people think an email is spam, you won't get it in your inbox. The disadvantage of SafetyBar is that it costs $40 annually.

Another anti spam program is Qurb . This program goes a step further than SafetyBar by only allowing email from addresses you specify as acceptable (your whitelist). All other email goes into a spam folder. Depending on the type of business you have, this program may be an excellent choice. If you mostly deal with return customers and are not planning on expanding your business much in the near future, Qurb is a fine choice because it takes the hassle out of identifying spam. You can download a free trial version of Qurb. There is a one-time $30 fee to register Qurb, but you won't have to spend any more money on the program after that, since there are no online spam databases as in the case of SafetyBar.
