Anti-Spam Recommendation

cloudmark.gifVirtual Assistant and VA Trainer Becki Noles recommends the anti-spam product  Cloudmark, which easily integrates with Outlook and Outlook Express. 

This product is a PC World "Best Buy" and is also consistently ranked high by PC Magazine. I asked Becki why she likes this product so much, and here is what she said: 

What I like about it most, is the fact that the software is housed on my computer rather than the server. I don't have to log into the webmail feature or server in general to quickly or not so quickly review my "spam" messages. I like the fact that I can, with the click of a button, remove something from my spam box and say that emails from this person are to go to the inbox rather than spam. The software is very good and I hardly ever have legitimate emails go into the spam box.

The free trial is awesome and gave me the confidence in the product that I needed. I have been a loyal Cloudmark.com customer since 2004 and I love every single minute of their service.

Another thing that I like is that with Cloudmark you can see your "stats" so to speak. I have copied my "stats" from mid-2004 to present here for you to get an idea of how it works:

Becki's Statistics

Time saved to date (hrs) 235
Money saved to date $4,700
Emails processed to date 417,719
Spam caught to date 84,705
Spam I've blocked to date 1,109

Cloudmark costs $39.95 for a one year subscription.  For that you get 1 - 9 licences.  If you need 10 or more licenses, there are additional discounts for multiple licenses.

Barbra, what a thrill to discover you through your generous comments over at Brain Based Business. It made my day to meet a close neighbor! Thanks for letting me know you are here -- I have bookmarked your site and hope to be part of the interesting conversation at Office Stuffer. Great to have you as part of the KMM team.

There are other options to installing software that protects a user from spam. While spam solutions like Cloudmark are good for the personal users; when it comes to business and enterprise, this type of solution becomes quite a maintenance burden. Outsourcing a spam protection solution then becomes the only option. Email Cleaners has the abilities to protect your company and office from unwanted spam and viruses as well as eliminating unwanted spam traffic inbound to your server thus allowing less wear and tear and therefore lower bandwidth consumption. Spool protection is also a built in feature that will allow your mail to be saved in the event of a crash.
