94 spam messages between midnight and 9:30 am

PocoMail's spam filter did catch 6 spam messages.

Any "plug and play" solutions? I don't want to have to get a PhD in spam filters.

I use SpamBayes, very happy with it, but it is similar to Pocomail´s built in spam filter - it needs to be trained first.

Someone recommended Mailshell Anti-Spam Desktop from http://www.mailshell.com/, it´s $29

See email hall http://www.pocosystems.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=17 for some more

I just installed mailshell. Let's see how that does.

The mailshell looks good so far. Between midnight last night and 9:00 am this morning, it caught 87 spams, missed 7 and 1 false positive. Not bad to start. It learns so it should do better with time. Tomas, thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the report, good to know that it works right of the box.

thanks for the tip!

You are welcome, credit is due to one of Pocomail users whose name unfortunatelly slipped out of my memory, who had similar need and compared several products and reported back with mailshell.
I didn't know about that before, and it's actually well hidden on their website, as it seems they are mostly targetting corporate customers.
