Excerpt

"...Another alternative to buying spam software is to use the online SpamTrap service, which routes email from your ISP into a spam-smashing super-server to weed out the junk mail so you download only the real stuff. It's highly effective yet costs only $33 a year. You can get a free 30 day trial at www.spamtrap.com.au."

messagecare technical staff explain the benefits of using a server side filter such as SpamTrap over a client side filter (software installed on your PC):

"SpamTrap stops known spam before it gets anywhere near your computer. This provides a huge benefit over the storage and quarantine of potentially malicious messages on your local hard disk. Additionally, we update the SpamTrap filters based on our worldwide network of spam traps, user feedback and our knowledge of known spam sources, leaving you to check your email without concern for software management."
