Spam is a persistent problem that affects Internet and email users all around the world. On average we receive over twenty items of spam every single week not only causing a nuisance but slowing down servers, email clients, and computers.

A lot of spam software is effective to an extent but demands regular attention to set up new rules, manually add new allowed senders, and blocking spam email senders. The most effective software that generally requires the least amount of user input incorporates what is called a Bayesian Spam Filter. This filter is quite different to the standard rule filters. It literally learns from your actions to help it determine whether future emails should be treated as spam or allowed to pass into your inbox.

What Is A Bayesian Spam Filter?
Some software applications that use a Bayesian Spam Filter struggle over the first few days. This is because they have little or no information to use when determining what is unsolicited and unwanted email. In some cases this can lead to users still receiving spam emails but in other cases it can prevent legitimate contacts from being able to email as well. The Spam Bully Bayesian Filter is much more powerful than this. It takes just a matter of a couple of days before the filter picks up on your requirements and then successfully implements those preferences in the future.

Email Client Compatibility
Spam Bully integrates easily with Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express and once installed it offers several tiers of protection. First you are able to add senders to your accepted senders list enabling them to post emails to you without being blocked. You can also choose to block specific senders if you have already received spam from them.

Challenging New Contacts
When an unrecognized sender sends you an email you have the option to challenge them. This challenge is simple and consists of emailing them a password that they must successfully enter into a special website. While this is simple for human users to do, it is impossible for spambots and crawlers to imitate. On the successful completion of this challenge, the email will be forwarded to your inbox as normal and the sender added to your recognized list.

Spam Email Options
Spam will continue to be an increasingly prominent problem unless we all do something about it. Spam Bully lets you retaliate using perfectly legitimate means. You can bounce the spam email straight back to the sender and you can report them to their host, service provider, and directly to the FTC. If everyone were to take this action with every piece of spam they received then spammers would soon be forced to give up their obnoxious habit.

Automatically Delete Spam Emails
If you’re truly sick of seeing spam email then you can choose to automatically delete any spurious email that is flagged as spam. Alternatively, to be safe, you can opt to have it forwarded to a spam email folder so you can review each one manually. Clean emails (those not flagged as being unsolicited) can be forwarded safely to your cell phone or other mobile device.

Conclusion
The Bayesian filter that is included as part of Spam Bully is incredibly clever. It takes only a few days before it learns almost exactly what you would do with the email if you were to act manually. You then have several options including the option to return spam to sender, block the email address, report the spammer to their host and to the FTC, or to forward clean emails to your cell phone.
