Email Virus

[Man U Supporter]

Has anyone used a programme called MailWasher? It is supposed to filter unwanted Emails. Is it any good or is there a better one. Grateful for any advice on this subject.

MailWasher is very good. You can bounce spam making the spammer think your address does not exist. You can preview a text version of emails (while still in your server) before opening them and possible executing viruses. I would recomend this program.

Me too, its really handy. Especially if you've got an hotmail account.

Thanks for advice both of you. I have just downloaded the free version from the internet but when I ask it to check my mail an error comes up to say cannot allocate socket any idea what this means? Help would be appreciated

Is your email account a pop3 account or is it web based?

For some reason, I can't get it to work with Hotmail even though I've downloaded various versions of the program.
