I have about 6 different email addresses that I use Outlook 2003 to manage. So far I have tried McAfee’s AntiSpam client, Spambayes and Norton’s as well. My personal opinion is that McAfee’s and Norton’s suck when it comes to their detection rate. Spambayes does a much better job but it’s system requirements bring Outlook (and the rest of the system) to its knees when processing new mail.
If you have a favorite AntiSpam client that works with Outlook 2003 please let me know what it is and why you like it. Please DO NOT tell me to switch mail clients. I have an MS Exchange environment and make heavy use of shared calendars , published folders and most importantly RPC over HTTPS. I know there are alternatives like Evolution for Windows and Thunderbird / Lightning that would get me most of the way. It’s the RPC over HTTPS function that seals the deal for me.
Thanks!!

Pure Message from Shophos is a good spam filter for an exchange environment. It’s almost stopped all spam for my users and although the whitelist and blacklist dont always seem to be 100% efficient its built in spam rules and the ability to block certain words, phrases, images and attachments is very good.
