Aug. 29th, 2004 - For those of you asking about specific things you can do personlly, we are testing out the new version of Spam Bully, which now has versions that work with either Outlook or Outlook Express. Spam Bully uses a sophisticated Bayesian spam filter based on over 20,000 spam messages. It then uses a self learning filter which learns from every new message received and sent enabling it to conform to your email habits. The more email you send and receive the more accurate Spam Bully becomes. This all happens naturally in the background with no interaction on your part. Stay tuned for a report on how it is working for us. From the makers of Spam Bully, "We hear Spam Sieve is a decent spam filter for the Mac".
