Good program but not worth the money
Pros: The interface is clean, it's integrated into OE, and it's easy to set up. The best part is the customer service and forum.
Cons: Too expensive. I bought the last version for $30. I was willing to upgrade, but the licenses they now sell expire after one year - you have to rent, rather than buy the program. Also, it uses resources with a service, and it has lots of bugs. Just check out their forums to get a sample. I agree with the other reviewer that it promotes very disruptive and poor practices such as bouncing email, using challenge/response systems, and bombing spammers. These all add the the networks already overloaded with spam-related garbage, and cause many an innocent victim to be bombed with e-mail or reported as a spammer. Most return addresses on spam are lifted from legitimate and innocent users. If you really need an integrated program, I'd recommend something like the free SpamBrave program. Better yet is the more complicated but highly configurable, effective, and free Spamihilator. There are lots programs that only charge once for their product, or are free to begin with. Try them instead, and stay away from bombing, reporting, and bouncing -- all of which just add to our misery.
