Another spam fighter gets swallowed up

If you’re keeping an eye on the market for spam-fighting software, you’re probably as distressed as I am to find that Network Associates has acquired Deersoft, makers of SpamAssassin Pro . This is a follow-up to their purchase last year of SpamKiller. Unfortunately, Network Associates has a less-than-stellar track record with products like McAfee AntiVirus, and people I know who used to love SpamKiller say it was never the same after it was swallowed up by the Network Associates marketing machine.

If you’ve found a spam-fighting solution that really works, drop me a line, will you?
