Spam is undoubtedly one of the biggest plagues that afflicts email accounts: useless messages, often with phishing traps or worse emails designed to infect our PC and steal our personal data. Avoiding them is simple using the most popular email accounts (such as Gmail or Outlook), but if we use a company email or another operator's email with an ineffective spam filter, how can we keep the mailbox clean "> Block spam emails, advertisements and unwanted messages
There are two types of anti-spam filters that we can integrate on any PC: software filters, which will take care of filtering spam emails by checking the Internet protocols reserved for emails or Web traffic, and online filters, which act as "mailbox additional "in which to point our email address.
In the latter case, our original mailbox will send all emails to the online filtering service, which will take care of cleaning up all the spam; at the end the legitimate emails will reach our mail client on the PC, so that we can only read important or useful emails.
The choice depends exclusively on us and on the permissions available on the company PC: if we can install some basic programs, we might as well try the software filters; if, on the other hand, we are blocked on the PC side, it is better to act with an online filter (with the approval of the network admin) so that we can immediately filter all the spam emails even before receiving them on our computer.
Obviously if the email accounts to manage are few, we can also use the free programs to be able to block this type of annoyance; if, on the other hand, we manage a business, it is better to consider online services and in particular paid ones, so as to obtain a decidedly superior service.
1) Spamihilator
The first free program we recommend to use is Spamihilator .
This program intervenes between the Internet and your e-mail client (like Outlook, but Thunderbird and other similar clients are also supported) by checking all e-mail and automatically filtering spam.
Eliminate more than 98% of today's spam, just leave it open during the work section to have an effective filter against hateful spam.
2) MailWasher Free
Another effective anti-spam program is MailWasher Free, downloadable for free on all PCs with Windows.
This software behaves very similarly to when viewed with Spamihilator, acting as a sort of filter between the emails received from the Internet and our mail clients.
In addition to functioning as a filter, it can be used as a real email client, so as to immediately have the integrated filter while reading the received emails.
Definitely an important ally in the fight against spam that arrives in corporate email.
