It bothers me when I read entries like this one from Doc Searls about spam problems. There are solutions out there that work including SimpleFilter.
Spam has not been an issue in my life for quiet some time thanks to SimpleFilter so its tough when I hear people still having issues out there but doing nothing about it.
The offer is out there for folks like Doc and Dave Winer (who have complained from time to time that he is getting buried by spam) to give SimpleFilter a try. The POP3 version has always had a free trial but I'll extend a free trial of the SMTP version to those looking to give it a try as well.
Just contact us over at SimpleFilter.
