Mailwasher! - GoFuckYourself.com

Just thought someone might find this useful.

Instead of downloading all the spam then deleting it, you can delete it off your server, and if you're feeling particularly frisky, you can "bounce" spam back to the sender so hopefully they think it's an invalid email addy.

I know this can be done other ways, but I'm too stoopid to figure them out, so this thing rocked for me.

And no, I'm not getting paid and I'm not affiliated with this thing in anyway. Just thought it was useful. Actually, I came on my keyboard a couple of times when I was using it I liked it so much.

P.S. It's pity-ware. Free if you want, donate if you want.

I've used it for quite some time. Posted about it on GFY before.

You might try spam assassin, or other similar programs that work server-side.
While we would all dream of having spam stopped at the router,
(meaning, 0 bandwidth charge) spamassassin works quite well, combined with
things like "email security through procmail" (sorry, no url, just remember the title)
any competent systems administrator (all serious webmasters have those right? if not, contact me

can remove most spam, and at the same time de-fang any possible virus's/trojans emailed to you.
(Ie: no need to worry about the clueless secretary/support person/ect clicking a .exe in outlook)
