I am looking for information on free anti-spam tools for Microsoft Outlook
2003. I work for an Area Agency on Aging, and we do not exactly have an
unlimited IT budget, so free is the best idea for us.

If you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know.


SpamPal, and plug-ins
http://www.spampal.org/
All free (not nagware, crippleware, demoware, or other crapware). You can
donate but it is not required (no functionality changes due to [lack of]
donation).

Works with all POP3/IMAP/SMTP compliant e-mail clients. Runs as a local
proxy through which you retrieve (and optionally send) your e-mails. I
haven't found a use for its SMTP server function and instead configure my
accounts to pull e-mails through SpamPal from my POP3 server and to push
e-mails out through my e-mail provider's SMTP server.

Also check with your e-mail provider to see if they have server-side spam
filtering (i.e., use their webmail interface to look at the options for your
account, and enable spam filtering there, if available).

Odd that someone posting through "State of Washington - Department of Social
and Health Services" needs freebie anti-spam solutions. However, SpamPal is
as good or better than many commercial anti-spam products. They also have
active forums visited by other users and the authors to get help.
