Spam Blocker Apps and Alternatives

E-mail spam defines unsolicited emails that are sent to numerous receivers simultaneously. The contents and purpose of these emails vary, ranging from advertising messages to malware attacks

Anti-spam software can detect the sender IP of a message and can prevent it from being received, thus protecting the user from accessing infected emails or annoying advertisements.

There are also some spam blockers that offer users the possibility to send reports regarding their spam, in order to increase the protection level of their application.

While some dedicated spam blocking utilities are standalone and run only when launched by users, most of them are integrated within security suites and they run in the background, protecting one's inbox.
