What's a good anti-spam filter for email?

[Elemennop]

I've been searching around for a good program to do this, and can't really find any definite reviews for a program. I'm willing to pay for it as well.

Any recommendations?

I've found Qurb to be an excellent one!

I bought it myself and it does a great job. Basically it searches your outlook or whatever program you use and sees who you have sent emails to or in your contact list and uses those to start with and allows those in. There is obviously a spam folder too thats really easy to use to check if something got stuck in there.

I highly recommend it.

If you run your own mail server like I do I recommend SpamAssassin

 

[n0cmonkey]

OpenBSD's spamd.

SpamBayes is what I use.

If you have a LAN linux server, or are willing to build and set one up, make a gateway with spamassassin (or any other filtering program) and have it do fetchmail on all your accounts. Not only will you filiter spam, but you can also add in a virus checker if you like, and you can access your mail via imap on the server directly so you could access it from multiple workstations. Got a setup like that at home, it's great. The initial setup can be a pain though, email is not the simplest protocols. (well pop/imap is not bad, it's SMTP that can get complicated)

Use MOZILLA. It's FREE!

Has a popup blocker and a good 'learning' email filter.
