Outlook SPAM Filter (SoftLogica)

27 Jun 2006

This review only reflects the personal experiences & opinions of the author.

This is a lovely little program & I wish it had been me who discovered it. However the credit goes to one of my colleagues, anxious to silence my continual moaning about the amount of time it took to delete ever increasing amounts of spam while keeping an eye out for genuine emails. It was with some trepidation that I tried the 30‑day free trial, but it integrated seamlessly with Microsoft Outlook & performed impeccably thereafter. It works easily as well as Norton AntiSpam, which was unceremoniously ditched when I realised just how resource hungry Norton Internet Security was (see the NOD32 Antivirus review). Mistakes are few & far between, but better still they are not repeated as the Bayesian filter learns when corrected. Just one word of caution – it is tempting to bounce spam back to the sender – but they usually employ spoof addresses, so the only result is increasing Internet congestion.
