[WriteLog] Request for help.

[Bob Naumann - N5NJ]

This spam thing was driving me crazy a couple of months ago, and I tried us=
ing mailwasher with some less than adequate results.  Then I heard about an=
other product called "Spam Assassin" which would also work in conjunction w=
ith Outlook Express.  The marking of "spam", "not spam" was a little diffic=
ult.  =


I then decided to try their new email program called "Bloomba", which is ve=
ry similar to many other email programs, but is tightly integrated with Spa=
m Assassin.  I see very, very few real spam emails now, and those that I do=
, I just click on the big "Delete as Spam" button, and the program learns t=
o block that type from there on out.  =


I also periodically review the Spam folder to see if it has id'ed an email =
erroneously as Spam, but it has not done so after about the first 3 weeks o=
f using it.  I have been using Bloomba for about 4 months now, and I am ver=
y pleased.
