Anyone else had a try of Bopspam? It gets an impressive write-up here and you can get a free trial here.

Re: Bopspam
I tried the free trial, but am having major problems with the log in... have contacted them about it, so will let you know what happens!! Idea looks really good though, but £49.99 per year!

But only £29.99 for average users - isn't that the same price as SpamInspector?

Re: Bopspam
I've been using the 'message rules' within outlook express (yes i know, everyone advises against using it, but i've tried a few other email programs and keep coming back to OE) and it works quite well. I can choose not to download any messages with certain keywords in the subject, then i have a filter for downloaded messages, where if they contain keywords they are deleted and marked as read. I'd actually like to see a plug-in though, where i could use basic expressions as well as keywords. To get around the buggers that are putting punctuation in the middle of words, etc. On average i was getting about 250 spam mails a day on my main email account, now i only get to see around 40-50 a day, the rest are taken care of by the 'message rule' filter. Which i'm pretty impressed with, and it also doesn't accidentally delete anything i don't want, as my filter is set to only delete if it's not from a list of 'allowed' email addresses.

Re: Bopspam
Spampal, plus a few good blacklists, is also quite effective - there are other plugins, such as REGEX, including a scoring based filter, or one that uses the dialup/dynamic return code from certain blacklists on only the IP address going in to the final server (direct mail from user operated SMTP) - FREEWARE, as all my favourite picks are!

I'll second that. I don't get much spam on ntl, but my gf does, and I set up Spampal for her, and it's been quite effective. And, as you say: It's FREE
