    The secretary in my office is complaining about getting penile enhancement emails through the office email. I told her I could do something about it rather than call the local tech guys.

    Can anyone recommend a good, free, spam killer that works with MS Outlook? I'd like it to run as transparent as possible, not hog resources or have any flashy displays.

    Thanks!

    Woah. No, not really. We're a small office. We don't have our own email server. We receive email through a POP3 connection I'm sure. And, I'm not sure our ISP has email filtering.

    Everything around here is set up like a SOHO connection. Personally, I just use Thunderbird and it's built-in junkmail learning technique, but the secretaries use Outlook so that's why I need something different.

    We don't have in-house tech guys. We have the local computer shop that provides tech support for a ton of small businesses in the area. Rather than call one of those guys in, I thought I'd set up the filter myself.
