    Hi,

    Im looking for some sure fire way to beat spam - the only way would seem to be that the sender verifies their email and are added to a white list.

    I have come across - ClearMyMail.com and it looks good - does anyone have any experience with it ?

    what are the (free) alternatives out there ?

    TnX

    The best spam filter that I know of is GMAIL,

    You can set it up with your pop email address

    Here's how to set it up:

    1. In your email client software, under Outgoing mail, set the SMTP server to smtp.gmail.com.
    2. Set the your username is yourgooglemailname@gmail.com and make sure "Use username and password" is checked.
    3. Also check off "TLS" under "Use secure connection."

    And voila! You can send mail for any email address from any network (that lets you connect to an outside SMTP server) using your Gmail account - be sure to enter your Gmail password when prompted.

    Check out Gmail's help section on POP access for Gmail for specific instructions for setting this up with your email program. If you only want to use the SMTP server, skip the POP bits and only set up SMTP to work with your existing email account.
