server-side anti-spam

[floriauck]

hello,

i come to this forum with my concern because of over 200 unwanted spam emails each day.

i have tried a lot of anti spam tools, and all of them work the same way. the create a folder in outlook and the spam just gets moved there ... well, it doesnt really help much, because then i have to go through that folder anyway to see if there was an error.

isnt there a server side spam filter for a regular end user? something that filters spam so that i never even get it in my in box?

if not, what is the best solution as far as anti-spam tools go.. i would really appreaciate any help, this spam sucks!!

thanks
florian

You dont state what your server is running, so assuming its linux/unix/apache combo

Spam Assasin is one of the best.

If you are ona shared hosting service throug hyour webhost, you may not be able to do anything about the spam beyond suggesting them to intall better filters.

You can "smart" host your email if you need to via a different ISP and then setup your own filters there.
