The amazing thing is, it actually works, I was very surprised and best of all it is free atm, but they are thinking of charging £5/month in the future, which i would gladly pay to save at least 30 minutes a day going through spam.
Since i've done this, i've not had any spam. The only thing that was marked as spam when it wasn't was regular mailing list stuff from dabs and tomshardware, so i set those to always allow on the website.
For £10 a year you could switch to i-websolutions mail servers (when they work?) I'm on their Kestral server so I don't know what the sparrow server problems are doing to pop mail. This marks all spam with a nice {Spam?} at the start of the header. You then set up a rule in your mail app to deal with it as you will. I automatically move it to a junk mail folder for review, you could just delete it at source, but it might just have customer mail in it so I need to check.
