I'm part way through the free trial period of SpamNet and so far it is doing a sterling job, even against the massive influx of spam I receive on a daily basis.

It's a subscription service and costs $4/month after the free trial.

Based on my experiences to date, I'll be subscribing.

Chiark.....do you use mailwasher yourself?

TK......can you purchase it for a one off fee or is it subscription only?

Paul, I'm not sure as I am still in the trial phase and haven't reached the subscription part yet. I believe, but could be wrong, that it's subscription only. I think they do year long subscriptions though.

I'm impressed with the service so far.
