We get a ton of spam here at work due to our emails being posted alot. It is mostly to the people that are on our sales team since the sales@addy.com is posted on the site. But we run a program called iHateSpam by Sunbelt Software and we hardly get any spam now. Some of it still gets through but the majority of it is caught by that program. I would recommend it to any company and I believe they ahve a Version for home Users as well.

Well, based solely on your recommendation Rags I have downloaded IHateSpam and am going to give it the 30 day trial run. If it's as good as it claims to be it will certainly be worth the 20 bucks to register it.

I certainly hope that it works as well for you as it does for us, Geo.

One day I was doing some upgrades and we were without it for 2 days and one user got an average of 300 spam emails per day for those 2 days. When we got IHS up and running again that dropped down to roughly 10-20 a day. I think it is even less now though.
