    Sick of Spam?

    I recently downloaded this neat little freebee MailWasher
    Imagine my surprise when I found out it was written by a fellow kiwi - lol
    Will only work on POP3 at the moment but its great. Filters are easy to use,blacklist, bounce back to sender, delete - you choose. You view your email on your ISP's server too so potential viruses are not downloaded onto your computer.

    Thanks for the info. Been to site. Looks good.
    Couldn't see anywhere how big the download file is? I'm on a 56k Modem -size matters!

    Hi Boccaman - sorry I dont but send Nick an email - I have emailed him twice with questions and have had an answer back almost immediately.

    Sorry, I'm not having any luck posting the email address but its at the bottom of the link I provided.

    New version available - "Fixes Zone Alarm, Nortons problems. Includes AMEX support. More stable and responsive" (although I never had any problems with the earlier version personally)

    Spam me not!!

    I too use Mailwasher but the free version is what I have. I just find that with it, I am always adding spam domains to the Blacklist. It never ends!!
