Which is the best email spam filter software and block list? As a person who logs online more than anything else, my email account is constantly being bombarded with spam emails. I receive an average of 100 – 200 spam mails per day, not even the mighty Gmail can stop them from entering my inbox.
Based on many years of experience, I’ve discovered the best way to filter out spam on a email hosting server is CBL Spam Block, as for those using Microsoft Outlook, Spamihilator is the best, not perfect but good enough to filter out 98% of spam mails.
CBL Spam Block
CBL is known as Composite Blocking List, is a well known and reliable way of filtering out spam mails. The CBL also lists certain portions of SpamBot infrastructure, such as Spam BOT/virus infector download web sites, and other web sites or name servers exclusively dedicated to the use of Spam BOTs.

This technique is known as “prevention is better than cure”. Why waste resource deleting and scanning emails for spam when we have the liberty to prevent them from entering the email inbox? How do you install CBL? No software to install, all you have to do is download the CBL list of IPs that are blocked or blacklisted.
Spamihilator For Microsoft Outlook
Unlike other email filter service and software, Spamihilator is a self learning filter which uses the Bayesian Filter technology, calculates a certain Spam-Probability for every E-Mail. You can train this filter! So it will know your messages even better than you. Hence the recognition rate will continuously increase.

Spamihilator works between your E-Mail client and the Internet and examines every incoming E-Mail. Useless spam mails (Junk) will be filtered out. This process runs completely in the background. Just like all email filter, there bound to be some errors. Here are the features:
- Spam Recognition via learning mode
- Support of POP3 and IMAP accounts
- secure connections over SSL/TLS
- Add lists of senders and block list
- Separate Spam and Non-Spam
