Spamfire is an anti-spam filter for your e-mail. Working with any program, Spamfire burns through the spam, separating it from the wanted e-mails. By using fuzzy logic filters (which don’t filter according to one word, but several) , your good e-mails are rarely separated. And if they do get tossed into the burn pile, you can rescue them before they’re incinerated with the rest of the rubbish. As Michael Herrick tells GPF’s Jeremy Smith, Spamfire features automatic updates to filter out known spammers and an easy setup.
