We have been in the business of designing and hosting web sites for over 10 years. We have dozens of published email addresses that spammers have siphoned from sites to add to their junk lists. In an average 24-hour period, we will receive 1,500 to 2,000 junk emails.

We have been using Cloudmark Desktop on our office workstations for at least five years. We cannot recommend Cloudmark highly enough. The filter learns from the input of tens of millions of subscribers as well as other sources and updates on the fly-- responding to the latest spam messages often in less than one minute.

Cloudmark Desktop is so reliable that we rarely check spam folders for good email and we rarely have to remove spam manually from Inboxes... which is done by clicking a button on the Cloudmark Desktop toolbar. When we do label a message as spam, our designation is fed into the Cloudmark database to assist other subscribers.

The Cloudmark Desktop application costs $23.95 a year; by far, the best money that we spend for computer software/services each year.

Most folks will use this service to monitor a single mailbox, but it works even on odd setups. For example, our site email is actually hosted by Google Apps. Dozens of "alias" addresses forward to a single mailbox. We use Outlook (with Cloudmark Desktop installed) to sync with the Google Apps accounts. Cloudmark Desktop runs on Outlook to remove the spam both from the desktop and from the sync'd Google Apps mailbox online.
