SpamDrop

I downloaded and installed SurfSecret’s Spamdrop the other day on the office pc, and so far out of the 217 messages received today, not one of them has been detected as spam. The interface is VERY similar to the cloudmark SpamNet software but a bit clunkier. It does provide whitelisting and blacklisting though which is good however in order to get to this functionality and to see the spam stats you need to go to Tools/Options/Spamdrop/Advanced/ – a one click button on the toolbar that gets installed would be a lot friendlier. The other thing is that their faq page says it works via a web proxy, but when I checked our firewall logs traffic on port 8600 was being blocked.
