Peace of mind.. at a price

I just bought the MailWasher spam remover. It works really well but has a slight disadvantage inasmuch as my mailing system that answers all my PayPal purchase notifications now doesn't run automatically.

Mailwasher examines your POP or IMAP mailbox and marks suspect mail for deletion but if the automatic send and receive runs from outlook or whatever client you use, the mail is still downloaded, spam and all. You have to explicitly process mail in MailWasher to get rid of the junk and then run the send-receive manually.

I must say though, I am impressed with it's catch-rate.
