Features & Benefits

Smart Filtering

Unlike other spam blockers, SpamSubtract filters email before it enters your Inbox. Email clutter and harmful attachements are kept out. "Smart Filtering" quickly analyzes, categorizes, and quarantines unwanted email.

Simple and Effective

SpamSubtract begins filtering as soon as you click your email Send/Receive button. SpamSubtract permits or denies email based on a sender's address, subject line, body text and message header. It can even block spam based on your 'bad word' list.

The Power of Friends

SpamSubtract begins with creating a 'Friends List' by importing your existing address book. Your 'Friends List' continually grows as SpamSubtract automatically adds people you send email to. Friends are never filtered.

Increase Productivity with Auto-Delete

Auto-Delete greatly reduces the time needed to sort through spam. The auto-delete feature can remove unwanted email without needing to review it first.

Maximum Protection and Performance

SpamSubtract provides an important layer of protection to your email program and PC. Files attached to suspected spam are quarantined - protecting you from potential viruses. This feature protects your PC and also improves your email productivity by stopping large, unwanted attachments from being automatically downloaded. SpamSubtract saves time for both broadband and dial-up modem users.

Family Friendly

SpamSubtract's unique masking technology blocks out offensive words by replacing the characters in the 'bad word' with asterisks (****). As a result, you and your family are protected from vulgar or obscene language.

It Just Works

You can use SpamSubtract with any standard POP3 email account to screen incoming messages. Use your Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express or Eudora program as you already do.
