Pacific Online has tested the program SpamPal. It is freeware and is
for WindowsTM
machines only - for more information you can visit their website at: www.spampal.us
or the UK mirrored site at www.spampal.org.uk
This program does help eliminate SPAM - we tested it for a month and
kept careful records of how much SPAM was eliminated each day. We
noticed that the numbers of SPAM caught each day increased - possibly
as SPAMMERS sold the email addresses.
Please review the below instructions
for how to setup this program
