Hi George, I have been using Mailwasher now for about 4 months and I love it. It hasn't stopped the plethora emails of the Nigerian persuasion, but I believe it has considerably reduced the number that I receive. What I really like about Mailwasher is the ability to view what mail is sitting in my account at my ISP without having to download it, then being able to bounce or delete them before downloading them to my email program. I like it. 73 Joel W5ZN ----- Original Message ----- From: George Race <wb8bgy@arrl.org> To: Arrl-Odv@P1k. Arrl.

Good Morning:
One of the things we all seem to have in common is the want to eliminate SPAM from our daily mailboxes. For the past couple of weeks I have been testing a new system and am pleased to announce that it works! My SPAM has gone from 25 to 30 a day down to 1 or 2, and I never have to see even them.
Check out the following address for details: http://www.mailwasher.net/ Be sure to print out or read the FAQ section of the web site. All the details of the program are there.
This program only works for POP3 Mail, but that is probably what most of you are using. The neat thing about this program is that is rejects incoming SPAM, sends a bounce message to the sender, and then deletes the message from your server. All of this is done without downloading any of the message into your system. It took about a week before I noticed a big reduction in my incoming. It is very easy to use as your primary incoming mail system and it works in conjunction with your current mail program. The program is free or can be supported with a small donation to the author if you wish.
Their web site and FAQ page should answer any questions you may have. If you have any further questions about the system, drop me a line and I will see what I can do to help.
