Well, I think the only reason BLOOMBA gets into the mix is because it's the first match in Google. Until Googling on SAProxy, I'd never heard of BLOOMBA. There is nothing about SAProxy that works better with any one email program other than another. The documentation that comes with SAProxy gives very clear instructions for configuring all the popular Windows email clients to use it (Eudora, Netscape, Outlook, Outlook Express, Pegasus), as well as generalized instructions that work with any email program. This is all it boils down to: 1. run the installation. 2. configure your email account so that instead of having pop3.myISP.com as the pop server, you use 127.0.0.1 (which is the IP number of localhost, or the PC where you're running your email client) and change the user name from MyName to MyName:pop3.myISP.com. 3. configure your email reader to filter incoming messages according to the headers that SAProxy inserts. Some mail readers support only subject heading filtering, others support more elaborate filtering. For the former, you can filter on "*****SPAM*****" in the subject, and for the latter, for "X-Spam-Flag: YES" in the headers. It's that simple. -- David W.
