Here a tip ,and free:
Most of the programs sending massive spam do not work until the end.
Means that they do not send to the last letters of the alphabet
zevele1 , zevele01 , zevele 10 on Yahoo= ZERO spam
The same for zevele Opera and Netscape.
If bevele or devele instead of zevele ,i would get tons of spams.
And zevele1 Yahoo is on many forums ,including here but ZERO sam

Choicemail One from Digiportal. A little pricey but works fine.

Allows you to pre-approve some or all of the addressees in yr address book; for any new contacts, requires one-time live validation by responding to simple queries. Also permits you to accept all messages from a given domain, etc.

You do have to troll the program every day or so to see if its holding up anything you care about, in case the sender does not bother to respond.

mozilla's mail client has a self learning bayesian spam filter. I've been using it for a few weeks now and it works quite well on recognising spam. It still has it's problems with moving them to the spam folder, but I hope that this will be fixed in 1.4 which is not too far.

if you're a bit more adventurous, have a look at spamassassin.org

MailWasher (www.mailwasher.net) works like a dream for me. Free. No spyware. No ads.

I've had very good luck with a freeware/shareware whitelist spam filter plugin for Outlook called Qurb.

You can find a review of it on cnet at:

MailWasher (www.mailwasher.net) works like a dream for me. Free. No spyware. No ads.  

Doesn't MailWasher have a big banner ad for the shareware version of MailWasher built right into the main window?

From what I know about the free version of MailWasher, I don't see how it could benefit anybody.

One stands mighty among the many...

Cloudmark (www.cloudmark.net IIRC) !!! Try it now...

The issue with private filters is that it needs to know who or what is sending it and using BCC or undisclosed recipients is a poor way forward... As arte universal blacklists...

The way clodmark works is by harnessing the users power... when mail arrived its sig is compared with cloudmarks servers.. .if its spam (and its in your inbox not your new SPAM folder) you click the cloudmark spam dlete button and not only does it go from your inbox it gets black flagged with cloudmark.. When the black flag ratio is > certian ratio it automatically is sent to spam folder... As 1000's of people use it 99% of spam is detected before you have to do anything...

If you ever get a mail in the spam folder that you wanted... You promoting it does the same in cloudmarks folders and ratio system...

Its the users that make this system work....

I put my email up on all kinds of forums... >30 - 50 SPAM mails dialy... Cloudmark gets 99% of it without fuss...

http://www.cloudmark.com/ works...

One stands mighty among the many...

Cloudmark (www.cloudmark.net IIRC) !!! Try it now...

The company name is "Cloudmark", and the product name is "SpamNet".  And it requires some version of Microsoft Outlook.

So much for standing mighty.

I use the free version of mailwasher. Works just fine.

..and it's doesn't show banner ads. It's just a signage window for mailwasher.

My version of MailWasher (2.0.13 beta) supports multiple accounts. It seems this has been restricted to one account in the current freeware version, which I agree would make it useless for most people. It seeems though that an older version is still available from Tucows:
