I have to give a heads-up to SpamPal.

I've heard mixed reviews in the past about software tools that help you to filter email to avoid unwanted spam. I came across SpamPal on CNET.com, and noticed that it had a very impressive 99% user recommendation rating.

SpamPal works with standard email programs such as Outlook, Outlook Express and Eudora. It does not work with web-based services such as Hotmail or Yahoo, etc.

I’ve been using it for almost a month now, and I’m here to tell you that SpamPal has blocked hundreds of unsolicited messages while only letting 10 spams through. More importantly, it has not blocked a single legitimate message from arriving in my Inbox.

“SpamPal is free software; you can download and install it entirely free-of-charge. This isn't a trial, or a crippled cut-down version to tempt you towards an expensive "full" version, or a package loaded with spyware to steal your personal details - the fully-featured version of SpamPal can be downloaded and used without imposition or restriction!”

Download SpamPal here.
