Version: Spam Bully for Outlook Express 4.1.0.12
"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.

Version: Spam Bully for Outlook Express 4.1.0.12
Pros: NOTHING!
Cons: I HATE this program with a passion. Spam shot up over night. I used to get 5-10 spam emails per day. I installed this program; thinking it would only go down. The very next day I got 20-30 spam emails. The spam did not slow down; in fact it got worse and increasing inappropriate. Spam Bully had very slow response times for tech support. When they did respond, what was suggested went NO PLACE!
This program that gets you listed as a spammer?s ip. I never heard of a spammer?s ip and did not care. However, after I got listed 3 times in a short 4 months I cared. Some company in England has the power to shut your ip down and thanks to Spam Bully, I found this out. If the K.I.S.S. theroy applies anywhere, it sure applies here. I used a simple free product that came with my software bundle and now I get 1-2 spams per week.
If you buy this product, you would be as foolish as I. I hope you do not buy this spam happy product!

Version: Spam Bully for Outlook Express 4.1.0.12
Cons: It kept crashing my Outlook upon start-up. My experience is that Spam Bully releases software before it is fully vetted of issues.
