Any reliable Spam Filters out there?

[Guest Beeble]

Spam e-mails to my main e-mail address currently outnumber genuine ones by about three to one. That's not a problem with my desktop as the Bayesian filter works pretty well (Baytesian filters file automatically based on probabilities, i.e Spam, Possible Spam, Non-Spam). But e-mail on my Vario is just too much hard work. Anyone got any ideas/suggestions?

Cheers

You need to filter before the email gets to the Vario II really. I'd suggest using pop3 to send your mail via a webmail service with filtering. Personally I use Yahoo and it seems to put 95% of spam into the bulk folder and only the odd message wrongly goes to the bulk folder (mainly subscribed mailing lists).

Filter your emails before they get to your PC/handheld device.

Sign up with a web based service (like spamarrest.com) who pick up your pop3/hotmail accounts and filter them, and then you download the approved mail from them.

Can preappove and pre-block individual addresses and whole domains, and then have rules to govern he rest, as well as virus filtering.

Hi

I have a (free) mail2web account. I forward mail from a google mail address to it, and my mail is aggregated from my main account (Pipex - no spam filter) to it.

Run it through the very effective junk filter in mail2web and I then just get the mail I want pushed to my Tytn. Really works well, and with flexmail I can go and check the main accounts via pop or imap to check if Ive missed anything.

I have found mail2web to be superb, free push mail and full outlook sync, reliable and all for free. Cant ask for more than that!
