If you have many pop / imap accounts you have to control the spam on the client because not all servers to do it for you - not every one will filter spam correctly or at all so you're going to have have client side filtering anyway. I like the spam filter in Mail on OS X and Evolution with SpamAssassin works pretty well on Linux http://krath.dk/linux/evolution_spamfilter/ - I don't think either one of those are available on windows, and I find the filter in outlook to be lame (though I hear thunderbird is quite nice). Sometimes spam has a virus or other nasty as an attachment. It is very often a MS office macro or some executable that runs only on windows - so not running windows clears up a bunch of problems free. In summary, I like client side spam and virus filtering and I find the tools on OS X and Linux to be in greater abundance and more powerful. You're also less likely to get infected with a virus without having to buy, install, and maintain a bunch of other programs. That's how it fits into this. However, I do feel your anger about the suggestions and I'll quit suggesting it. -- ~Blog~ http://www.robrohan.com ~The cfml plug-in for eclipse~ http://cfeclipse.tigris.org ~open source xslt IDE~ http://treebeard.sourceforge.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:204307 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
