Spam Blocker??

[Ramster]

I need a spam blocker. Spam is getting WAY out of control. Because of all the domains I have online I cannot deal with this shit anymore. I know I am missing emails from people that are important. I come home from a weekend with 1000's of emails over many email addresses.

Anyone recommend a spam blocker? I want something that simply blocks it altogether I guess like Spam Arrest where the person needs to reply. Hopefully it will allow me to add in "approved" email addresses so I still receive emails from sponsors. Filters suck ass. Common words are used too often to black them out.

Any suggestions?

I've been using Cloudmark for nearly 2 years now.
Seems to work well, only about 30 emails a day get through. It's like 4 bucks a month I think.

$4, not bad. I'll check that one out. Thanks

Ramster, I've been using Spam Arrest for about a week and a half and I couldn't be more thrilled.

I had many misgivings which all turned out to be non issues. Two of the biggies were a) I was able to upload a list of email addresses that were already on my whitelist so they were automatically authorised, and b) I have the ability to login to their webmail to authorise any real mail that I should receive, which is of course handy to do a couple of times a week for newsletters etc, but also possible to do whenever you are expecting an automated email, such as when you purchase something online and are expecting an emailed receipt.

Spam Arrest is $24.95 for 6 months.

Hope this helps.

Lisa thanks, I think that is what I am going to go with.

Adding a "whitelist" of emails is the big important thing to me.
