Yes Katheryn. Cloudmark Anti-spam. there's a free trial at: http://www.cloudmark.com/desktop/ It isn't free though. there are versions for Outlook and Outlook Express. It is very effective, and they seem to pro-actively update there protection rules based on user feedback as well as their own inphouse efforts. Hope that's some help.e From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Catherine Turner Sent: 23 October 2006 4:59PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: SWAMPED WITH RUBBISH/SPAM/MAYBE PAWN Hi, On this subject - what I'd like to know is are there any spam filters that work within Outlook Express? I mean ISPs use some which seem to be web based - i.e. I cannot tell them something is or is not spam from Outlook Express, I must do it on the web which I don't want to do as with the amount of mail I get and the design of my mail providers' websites I'd spend all my day rather than half of it on e-mail. . Then I've seen Mail Washer and I guess there are other programs like that which sit between the server and Outlook Express and therefore take more time if I'm going to use them. Is there anything I can do within Outlook Express, apart from manually creating rules? I'd like a program which I could, say, press the applications key on a message and mark it as spam and in future it would go to deleted items; or bounce back some "mailbox not found" type message which might cut down some spam...does anyone know of such a program which fits in with Outlook Express?
