Open Sesame Spam Blocker   
http://LeithauserResearch.com

Open Sesame Spam Blocker is a Windows software program that deletes any email in your Outlook or Outlook Express Inbox folder unless it meets at least one the following criteria: 1) The email comes from someone in a "white list" of senders created by you 2) The email comes from someone whose email address is in your address book 3) The subject line contains one of the passwords selected by you If the email does not pass any of these criteria, it is deleted (moved to the deleted folder). When the email is deleted, Open Sesame Spam Blocker can send an email (if you wish) telling the sender that the email has been deleted. If you wish, this email will give them the password that they need to include in the subject line in order to have Open Sesame Spam Blocker not delete the email. While it may seem strange to automatically send everyone who sends you a password that enables them to bypass Open Sesame Spam Blocker, there is actually a very logical reason for this. Almost all spam is sent out in bulk by computer programs. These programs ignore any replies. In fact, the return address is usually totally phony, so they never even see the reply. Therefore, these spam mailers do not read the return message and resend the email with the password. However, if the email was sent by a real live person (perhaps your long lost love who had tracked you down or an important business contact you forgot to put in the list of acceptable email addresses), that person will almost certainly resend the email with the password in the subject line. (Note: Open Sesame Spam Blocker does not work with America Online email or email that you read by going to a Web site, like Yahoo.com.) Open Sesame Spam Blocker is especially useful for businesses that have a Web site with a "click here to send email" type link. You can have the link automatically add the password to the subject line by including code in the link that automatically creates the subject line.

Babastik's AntiSpam Personal   
http://www.babastik.com

The no nonsense, no compromise solution to stopping unsolicited email from cluttering your inbox. For Microsoft® Windows 98/Me/NT/2000 and XP. AntiSpam Personal uses what is called a White-list with Challenge and Response validation to stop emails from forged or invalid email addresses from reaching your inbox. It works with all email programs that access standard POP3 email servers: Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, etc. * No messing with filters or alternate email addresses * Stops SPAM, and only SPAM at the server * Prevents hackers from spying on your email when transferred to and from your email server * Runs automatically in the background * Simple setup How does it work? AntiSpam keeps a list of all email addresses you correspond with. Any email from a source not in that list of familiar email addresses is sent a verification email to verify the email is from a legitimate email user. Since 90% of spam is sent from bogus or unmonitored email addresses these emails will never be verified and will be automatically deleted from your email server by AntiSpam. Features: * Automatically searches your existing address book to figure out who you have corresponded with so that they never see a challenge message when emailing you in the future*. * Listserver/Automated email aware. When correctly tagged by the sender, listserver and bulk emails are not challenged but rather flagged and eventually deleted if not wanted. * One button installation for Outlook and Outlook Express users. * Tracking of statistics and access to consolidated statistics from all AntiSpam users. * All processing is done on your local computer. Information about emails and addresses never leave your computer. * Automatically uses the latest industry standard encryption when exchanging information with your email server, regardless of whether your email client came with it or not.
