Our Recommended Solution

We have tested many many anti spam programs and this is quite simply the best we have seen.

It helps you quickly sort spam from regular mail while making sure you do not lose legitimate email.

The program we recommend is Mail Washer Pro

Here's how the program works:

This is not an outlook express plugin it is a stand alone program. Mail washer pro checks all your email while it is still on the server, before you download it to your pc.

This has 2 main advantages:

1. You do not download viruses in emails to your PC
2. Spammers often verify email addresses exist by including an image in an email. When you open that email the spammers know that your email address called the image from their website and have confirmation your email address is real.

Neither of those things occur when email is checked on the server before download.

When it checks your emails on the server it compares them to the spamcop and first alert spam databases. If it recognises the email is from a known spammer that email is checked as spam, checked to be deleted, and marked in red in the mail list.

So you simply click "Process mail" and the program begins by deleting all those emails from the server.

If there is an email that COULD be spam it is marked as possible spam. You can then right click the email in the list and select to ban the email address and or report it to the spam databases as spam.

Obviously if they get repeated reports for the same server they will add that to the known spammer list.

If there is an email the program is not sure about it will be colored grey in the list. You can then right click the message and add it to your friends list or blacklist it.

This program learns as it goes and is VERY easy to use.

It also spots those fake Paypal, bank and Ebay emails (Phishing)

Here at 2001 web we get hundreds of spam emails a day, we used to spend an hour plus every morning sorting the mail. Now we have that down to about 10 minutes.

What you end up with is a list of safe wanted email you can download to your outlook express.

That said you dont even have to do that if you dont want to. You can open and reply to messages right there within the program.

The pro and pro trial versions support unlimited email accounts, so you if you have more than one site or a site with different email adresses it can monitor ALL your addresses at once.

We can not recommend this program enough. You have nothing to lose there is a free 30 day trial of the program so you can give it a try.

After the 30 days is over the program is just $37 in my opinion this program is WAY underpriced, it has saved myself and the 2001 web team literally thousands of wasted hours sorting out junk mail.
