Publisher's Description
From SonicWall:
SonicWALL Anti-Spam Desktop delivers client-based anti-spam, anti-phishing protection for Outlook, Outlook Express, or Windows Mail e-mail clients on Windows-based desktops or laptops. With SonicWALL Anti-Spam Desktop, e-mail once again becomes a tool to enhance productivity--instead of a source of user frustration and administrative dread. SonicWALL has engineered costs out of Anti-Spam Desktop to deliver affordable world-class e-mail protection. Blocks Spam and Phishing Email; When SonicWALL Anti-Spam Desktop is installed on a Windows-based system it acts as a plug-in to Outlook, Outlook Express, or Windows Mail. Anti-Spam Desktop evaluates e-mail arriving via Exchange, POP, or IMAP to the Outlook, Outlook Express, or Windows Mail system, and prevents spam and phishing e-mail from reaching the Inbox. How SonicWALL Anti-Spam Desktop Works: Once installed, SonicWALL Anti-Spam Desktop will start each time the Outlook, Outlook Express, or Windows Mail e-mail client is started. Anti-Spam Desktop evaluates e-mail as it arrives, placing spam e-mail in the Junk Mail folder, phishing e-mail in Phishing Mail folder, and legitimate e-mail in the Inbox. With the Challenge/Response option, challenged e-mail will be placed in the Challenged Mail folder. If a spam message does get delivered to the Inbox, users simply highlight the message and select the "Junk" button to remove it from the Inbox. This also adds the sender to a blocked list so that future e-mail from this sender is blocked as spam. Should a legitimate e-mail unintentionally be placed in Junk Mail folder, the user may simply highlight the message and select the "Unjunk button. This action will also add the sender to an allowed list so that future e-mail from that person is delivered correctly.
Version 6.0 includes improved accuracy using the SonicWALL GRID network, support for POP, IMAP, and Exchange.

"Didn't work at all"
Version: SonicWALL Anti-Spam Desktop (32-bit version) 6.0
Pros
None. It didn't work!
Cons
Used the previous version called MailFrontier for years and worked well. The change to SonicWall stopped it cold. Deleted and reinstalled and still didn't work. Did not catch one spam email in over a week. Tried to contact support and got nowhere
Summary
Replied to my 4th email after 6 days. I wouldn't try it again if they paid me.

"By far the best ever"
Version: SonicWALL Anti-Spam Desktop (32-bit version) 6.0
Pros
painless, no user maintenance required. thorough and accurate
Cons
would like it to scan multiple mailboxes on outlook express
Summary
Lately, the SonicWall Bayesian info servers have been down a lot, making this once great product essentially useless. It's almost like they'd rather you bought their more expensive hardware boxes.
