Agava antispam with Pocomail

[Ray]

This is just to let others know that I have been using Pocomail with Agava Antispam Servant (an odd name?) and this free spam filter is working well for me. Anyone interested to try out the software can download it from the link below:

http://www.antispamservant.com/

The software installed without any hiccups and I didn't have to tweak Pocomail at all except for creating a single filter. It is catching 97% of the spams after only two weeks of use and since I work online and have the habit of checking messages as soon as they arrive, this software is now saving me a lot of time.

Best wishes to all.

Sounds good except it also installs another program, some sort of information bar that gets attached to the bottom of the browser...looks like some kind of advertisement. The only way to disable it is to buy the full version.

My advice would be mailwasher from http://www.firetrust.com

Not sure if they have a "free" version but if you got loads of spam like me its an absolute gem. Good support, works out of the box although uses filters for the more advance users.

If you use it and want my filters to look into feel free to "nag" me.

Type and read you later

Lest people forget, K9 from Robin Keir http://keir.net/k9.html is simple and effective.

It hasn't been updated for a few years but was always well regarded.

K9 worked fine when I used it some years ago, I liked it.
Now with SpamBayes and very happy, in particular, I didn't have a single false positive for weeks if not months, so now I'm saving a lot of time by not having to check the spam folder anymore.
Also heard good reviews of Popfile, and there is a script somewhere on this forum I believe, to allow better integration with Popfile. If not, concidentally I just run across this blog post that has script posted:

... reviving an old thread ...
AGAVA >> IS << spyware these days. It installs an ad driven program whether you are registered or not. (I was) Support is nil after they have your money.

I used The Bat plugin before coming to Pocomail. I must say it was ok for a long time until they decided that spyware was the way to go. Yes there are ways of disabling it but it would cause errors to be generated when loading. THAT is not why I registered it

May I suggest also "Kanopea Antispam" (ex-Spam Aware).Itworks wonders with Pocomail.

They also have a free version, but I bought it and am very pleased with it.
Just a piece of information!

Thanks for your input Pierre.
Never heard about that one, but I'll give it a try one of these days.
