Off Topic -- but very helpful

[Guest guest]

Hi, Everyone!

I am so pleased with this service (which I am not affiliated with in any

way), that I wanted to share this with you.

The service is " BrightMail " and it is a spam-blocking service. You

download something from their website and then " install " it -- which changes

some settings in your e-mail. Thereafter, all your e-mail is routed through

BrightMail and known spam is *not* delivered into your mail box, but is held

by BrightMail. You can check your " caught spam " whenever you want to and

make sure that no legitimate e-mail has mistakenly been caught. They have a

very high rate of accuracy. I have been using the service for over a week

now, and it has blocked all but 2 pieces of spam and no legitimate e-mail

has been blocked.

If spam does get through, you send it to them at a special address, so

they can block it in the future. If legitimate e-mail is " caught " as

" spam " , you can have it sent to you, and you can also send it to a special

address for BrightMail to let them know it is legitimate so it is not

blocked in the future.

This service only works with POP3 mail servers. It does not work with

web-based e-mail (such as Hotmail, , Excite, etc.), AOL, or web-tv.

I was receiving 10-15 spams per day, and it was really annoying me!

Now,. all this spam is intercepted by BrightMail and I don't have to deal

with it in my inbox. I check the BrightMail " caught spam " every few days

and then report it through SpamCop (http://www.spamcop.net).

To find out more about BrightMail, their website address is:

I hope this is as helpful to many of you as it has been for me!
