I ought to qualify that. It works with OE but not as a plug-in.  It
works in similar fashion to K-9 when used as a proxy server.

Doesn't work in OE yet.

where is spambyes? I did a google search and it didn't find it. Does it
also work on outlook express? quite a few of the programs I've looked at
work inside outlook but not inside outlook express. 
I get new spam every time I open mail washer - and I mark it as
blacklisted. Most, is to my old address, that I keep saying I am going
to dump because of the spam. I am getting more and more every day on my
cris address - the one I use in this group, and my yahoo groups.

That's the first that I've ever heard someone getting 100%.  Most of the
time I've heard anywhere from 93 to 96%.  The other thing I didn't like
about MailWasher is the fact that it is a proxy service.  I would rather
have a solution such as SpamBayes that directly plugs into my Outlook.

That's odd regarding Mailwasher, I get 100% of all spam blocked, and I
noticed within about 1 month that the actual amount I was getting had
dropped dramatically.

To get round the problem that James's spam solution causes I've just set
up a mail rule to block anything from his address-the only problem with
that is if he ever sent me a 'proper' email, I wouldn't get it
