I wonder which spam filtering program you would recommend for me to use with The Bat. I just use The Bat!'s own filters system. Needs only occasional tweaking. No automated figures available but I would guess 95% to 99% effective. Very few falsely moved to spam folders once you get the filters right. I generally get very little spam (1-5 per day) but every few months I will get a deluge of about 3000-4000 spread over a few days. My filters usually only miss about 25-30 of this deluge, just means my spam is predictable. Somebody using Regular Expressions could probably achieve greater accuracy. -- Best regards, MFPA Don't cry because it is over - smile because it happened Using The Bat! v3.80.06 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 3.99.27.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Mailwasher does not automatically delete on the server. Instead you run it as a separate program and it shows you all incoming email before you retrieve these emails to your email programs. It has a leaning filter but you can inspect all flagged emails prior to processing. Once you process, then good emails are either downloaded to your pc into your email program or deleted on the server and never make it onto your pc. -- Tom using TheBat! 3.99.29 on XP Current version is 3.99.27.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I wonder which spam filtering program you would recommend for me to use with The Bat. I am also using Antispamsniper (ASS).

Re: Which spam filter for The Bat?
I use Agava licensed version. But completely unsatisfied. Above all, their set up file always setting up adware.They claim that it is auto removabl by license key input, but exactly not! If you have huge numbers of spam , i use MailWasher for business emails! It works just great. As a add-in to the BAT, i am also looking for recommendation.

Hi Costas, One of my email addresses has recently started being flooded by spam. I wonder which spam filtering program you would recommend for me to use with The Bat. Like Henk, I use AntiSpam Sniper, too. Only on rare occasions will a previous version not work with an Alpha or Beta test version of TB!. It is toally configurable, and for the price can save you hours of agravation. -- Neal Using TheBat! v4.0.0.14 (ALPHA) on Windows XP Service Pack 2 AntispamSniper 2.7.1.5 OTFE enabled Current version is 3.99.27.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I use K9 (http://keir.net/k9.html) as an external program and am fully satisfied with it.

I know people who use Mailwasher Pro and they also say it's very good.
