>Hi. Does anyone have suggestions on Anti-Spam software?

Mailwasher is another one that works okay for a local machine, and is inexpensive, maybe even free, I forget now that I've had it so long.

However, my ISP started filtering very heavily about a month ago, a la AOL. They have 5 levels of "spam filtering," and I have mine set to "Extreme." It filters out all but maybe 1 spam per day (that gets by it somehow) to a folder on the ISP server called "Quarantine." You can logon and go through this folder (it also does nifty spam mass-deletions), and look for and false-positives. At first there were some, but now they've fine-tuned it, and I haven't had a single one in several weeks. Between this and DoNotCall my life has taken a big communications upswing recently :-)

So, you might check with your ISP to see if they have any such plans.

I think we'll see more of this filtering from ISPs (even Cisco routers are working on it), possibly either supplementing the legislation, or in a different direction entirely. This is because Congress is right now passing federal legislation (well, maybe not officially "passed" until Jan 20, 2004) that may well change the whole landscape of spam.

However, due to the global scope of spam, I'm thinking we'll still need some sort of filtering ability - but we'll have to see, the new spam-law effects are still a bit uncertain at this point.
