I'm surprised this one never made the news, so maybe I'm doing a few people a favor today by posting it now. Cloudmark has finally released an Outlook Express version of their community spam-fighting tool "Cloudmark SpamNet" this program integrates with Outlook Express creating both a spam "firewall" and seamless way to block spam that does slip through. It's better explained at the site:
    SpamNet is the first and largest group of people - more than half a million collaborating in real-time to fight spam. Because of its community based peer-to-peer filtering model, SpamNet keeps over 95 percent of spam out of your inbox automatically, so spam doesn't steal time from your day, or money from your wallet.

    If a spam does slip through to your inbox, simply click the Block button to remove the message from your inbox and notify the entire SpamNet community immediately. This automatically helps stop that spam message from being sent to other members of the SpamNet community. - Source: Collaborative SpamFighting
This product is currently a "free beta" meaning you can participate and benefit from the network but as we saw with the Cloudmark SpamNet beta for Outlook it became subscription based soon after.

Pctuk - agreed. Absolute joke how they built up a spam database, and then literally said right, use the crappy final pre-beta releases, or pay up.

this is one beta that i wont be testing for.

But you see, I was one of the beta testers and I'm currently still running the last beta release. It works like a charm!
