Spam Bully for Outlook description
Spam filtering solution that integrates into Microsoft Outlook

Spam Bully will utilize an advanced Bayesian filter system based on thousands of spam messages. It learns from every email message you send and receive. This way it learns what you consider spam and what you consider acceptable email.

There's a special Friends/Spammers list; so your friend's emails are never blocked and messages of known spammers are automatically designated as spam. Query emails can be sent to unfamiliar emailers with a special message requiring them to respond before they are added as an accepted users.
All features are fully customizable to meet your own needs.

Spam Bully WILL BE compatible with any pop3 mail program. There is no need to learn a new email program. Regardless of what email program you use, Spam Bully will work with it. If you use Outlook we have designed a special version of spambully that completely integrates with Outlook.

For Outlook Express, Spam Bully has wizards to automatically import all the settings it needs to get started. For other email clients, it provides easy to follow help to get you up and running quickly.

The program can also bounce messages from known spammers, query emails sent from unfamiliar emailers (require confirmation), block selected attachments types and more.

In addition, it produces a nice graph view that you can use to view your daily, weekly or yearly spam statistics. An excellent choice for Outlook users, and from what we have tested so far, it is definitely the most sophisticated one. A must-try for any Outlook user!
