People using Mailwasher with dialup may want to be aware I've created a
small program to deal with the dialup problem in Mailwasher. Using the
program helps signifigantly eliminate spam, particularly for dialup
users. See: http://home.earthlink.net/~mwauto/

there are some pretty bold statements on that site...

"Mailwasher is by far the most popular spam screening program in existence"

not only that but that page just screams spam to me... things like this
"simple but powerful secret filter"
"the only one you will ever need!"

Whats is it they say... if it sounds too good to be true...

But the other claims seem very reasonable :-)

"Tiny 86k program runs reliably on any platform or operating system"
