"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Applying our Spam Prevention Tips should help to slow the tide of spam.

But in the meantime, if you are already receiving a lot of spam, and want a way to filter it out, there are quite a few programs available to help you.

A popular program for Windows-based computers is "Spam Inspector" (found at www.giantcompany.com/ (avwscc45uau55djurxfxfm55)/ default.aspx?PID=A22090). This program works well with Outlook and Outlook Express. Another popular program is MailWasher® Pro, available at http://www.firetrust.com/products/pro/. MailWasher® Pro works with most Windows-based email program, including Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape.

A commonly-used program for the MacIntosh is "SpamSieve" (available for download at www.c-command.com/spamsieve/index.shtml).

Alameda Power & Telecom does not endorse any of these programs; we offer this for informational purposes only. An Internet search for "spam filter" will turn up many similar programs, and you may find one that better suits your needs.
