Blue Frog anti-spam software

This software is a bit of an attempt at vigilantism.  I'm against it: http://www.snapfiles.com/opinions/Blue_Frog/Blue_Frog.html There are other ways to combat spam. ; Specifically, bayesian spam filtering which works quite well. ; It's main downside is that it takes a few days of mail to train it which messages you want and which you don't.&nbsp; So you always start by having it mark messages without doing anything and then later you have it move messages to a spam folder.&nbsp; From time to time, you need to go through the spam folder and remove the false-positives. ; After about a week (or longer depending on how much mail you get), you'll be catching 98% of your spam with almost no false positives.  Bayesian filtering is included in Thunderbird (the free mail client from the makers of Firefox) and can be installed in Outlook for free using this utility: http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/spambayes/ --TwinkieStix David wrote: > One of the attorneys in my office asked me about installing this > software.
