I'm using a brilliant one. Recently discovered it. One month free trial then it's £17 if I want to keep it. There is a free version (same spec) but this puts a small ad at the bottom of all your outgoing emails saying "Emails protected by xxxxxxxxxx" So what's this software called? (I know what it's called - you have to guess :^O) Pint of Babycham to the winner.
The only way to avoid spam is by not circulating your email address. You should create a separate account that you only use to email trusted friends etc. Then have another account that you use for everything else, as this account is the one that will get bombarded with spam.

Yes but the 'everything else account' IS getting bombarded with spam but we can't just close it as we get many many emails to it that aren't spam. This SpanFighter is brilliant. It's great to watch it putting dozens of emails into the folder ready for deleting. So far it's been nearly 100% accurate. It doesn't work like the others, it's not a filter.
You can create more than two accounts and treat them with different levels of security with the top security used only for trusted people. The other end of the scale is to use another email account that you are not bothered if it becomes bombarded with spam as you are not interested in any response sent to that account. Your provider will probably clear the inbox when it gets to a set limit. Then have other email accounts with differing levels of security between these two limits. It works!

Yes but you still get all the spam! All you have created is the spam spread between several accounts so in fact, you have <u>increased</u> your chance of getting spam as you could get the same spam to several of your accounts.
It's usually in the isle at the COOP clogged with pensioners buying 3 sardines and a single carrot. Why do they do that?
They dangle the carrot in the front window, so all the neighbours know that their worth one. The wet fish thing is a bit too much for a public forum, you don't want to know!
