You know, if you want a great spam filter for your email, you don’t have to look too hard. Those programs are all over the place. They’re free, bargain, and full price, and all of those categories offer at least one or two great programs.
If you want some good spam filtering for your Microsoft Exchange account, that might be a little trickier to find.
It’s simply a matter of supply and demand. More importantly, a matter of supply. Where you won’t find a single computer user without an email address, there are literally millions of computer users without Microsoft Exchange accounts.
So it’s simply a difference in the number of potential buyers. If you know for a fact that everyone on the planet needs your product or something similar, you know you’re in the right business. If you know that only a small percentage are going to make for potential customers, there’s less incentive to get involved. That’s why you see so much competition on the email spam fighting market, and so little when it comes to Exchange.
But look, if you want a great program to take care of all the spam in your exchange file, just go ahead and look up SmartPOP. SmartPOP uses a number of anti-spam techniques to give you full coverage, killing spam based on a number of factors.
Any spam mail coming from a source listed in the database goes right in the delete file. Any mail that features keywords like “Viagra” is going right in the delete file. Any mail that comes from a bot is going right in the delete file.
Simply put, SmartPOP is really powerful, and it gets regular updates. At least once a day, and sometimes more. The database is already huge, and the se updates just ensure that the program is never left behind.
But what really makes SmartPOP our recommended software is just how easy to use it is. The user interface has been streamlined and simplified into an elegant, tight unit that can leave the user with plenty of options for configuration, but which won’t drain too much on the memory and which can easily go on autopilot, allowing the user to simply install, and ignore.
Unfortunately, there aren’t a whole lot of these programs available for Exchange, but there are a few. Just be glad you’re using a Windows computer. People on macs have enough trouble just finding acompatible killer for normal spam.
