Junk Email Current Blocking Action Filtering and Spamfilter service

It is possible to filter email centrally by looking at the contents or the subject line in the header. For some time individuals using Unix have been able to use a variety of filtering programs and Windows users may be able to filter if they use a suitable email client (eg Pegasus or Outlook express). However, this type of filtering can be difficult and there is a demand for a central service. Whilst universally unwanted phrases are more difficult to tailor than individual ones, a central service avoids duplication of effort. Such a service is currently available. Details can be found at
