jwSpamSpy will stop most spam from reaching you. It combines a high detection rate with a very low rate of "false positives" and it doesn't need "training" or extensive setup. If any valid mail is treated as suspect or spam it can always be recovered. jwSpamSpy works with email programs such as Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook and with many other types of email client software for Windows 2000 or XP. It can also be used with some webmail providers.
How does it work? All your email goes through a mailbox on a mail server, from which your computer usually picks it up. jwSpamSpy reads this mailbox, checks which emails are spam, removes those and leaves you with only the valid emails. By configuring your email program to use jwSpamSpy as a go-between (proxy) for picking up mails, this process becomes largely transparent to the user.
