Developer’s Description

By Bongosoft Corporation

Authenticate the sender of each incoming e-mail message.

This patent-pending product authenticates the sender of each incoming e-mail message. During installation, your e-mail address book is imported by Bongosoft AntiSpam to form a foundation of 'allowed' senders. If an e-mail arrives from an unknown sender, Bongosoft AntiSpam automatically sends a 'challenge' message to that sender asking them to reply with your AntiSpam passcode. The AntiSpam passcode is sent along with the 'challenge' message in a graphical file. When the reply message is received and the passcode is found to be correct, that sender's original e-mail and all subsequent e-mail from that sender are passed to your inbox.

The program supports Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape Messenger, OpraMail, or any application accessing POP3 e-mail accounts.

Warning!! Sneaky self-marketing!

Pros
Looks like it might almost do what it says.
Cons
1. SPYWAYE or WORSE! <p>With no prior warning this program will send an e-mail to any address you attempt to import ("whitelist") into it. Think about that, any e-mail address that you may have had in an old e-mail account. (Ex-bosses, coworkers, significant others, etc. will all get an e-mail from you). <p>1A. Supposedly this can only be turned off if you buy the program, which would be fine. But there should have been a very noticeable warning (when you are about to import addresses for instance). There was none! <p>1B. There is a greyed out notice viewable in a buried advanced menu options screen. <p>Honestly, that was so poorly done on their part I may uninstall the software even if it does work as it is supposed to. <p>2. Also conflicts with google desktop (which is a very good & very free product, IMHO) <p>3. I called the Bongosoft support # listed in the help file & it is a non-working #. <p>4. I feel violated & duped, I hope the same doesn't happen to anyone else & also there ought to be a better warning from Download.com (who I have trusted up until now) [usually thye warn if a download includes other shady programs, etc. I would say this qualifies]

Pros
Works.... But doesn't actually block any emails from live people. Really amazing software for Outlook users, especially for older versions of Outlook where there was nothing.
Cons
They actuallyh want us to pay for there software *gasp* *shock* *horror* lol just kidding no real cons.

Summary
I have two domains and 6 sub-domains, with e-mail funnelling into about six accounts accessed by MS Outlook Express. Even with email filters and Spam prevention on the server side, I have gotten as many as 800 bogus mails in a single day. After installing Bongosoft, this dwindled to zero! The only downside is that the 'challenge' emails can be confusing or intimidating to legitimate (but faint-hearted)posters. Also, the password graphics in the challenge e-mails freqently don't show up in Macintosh email clients. Bottom line, Bongo stops SPAM in its tracks. I could never go back to my old system of client rules and server filters--not after having Bongo between me and the SPAM floods.
Wonderful Product
