MailWasher Pro quickly learns and delivers you a robust and efficient approach to controlling your spam problem.
• FirstAlert! Users of MailWasher Pro software get a free year of FirstAlert!, a global network of users who actively report spam, with their purchase of MailWasher Pro. Users who interact with the database do so in real-time and any messages in the users email that correspond to identical fingerprints in the database are eliminated.

By reviewing and deleting content at the e-mail server, users are protected from objectionable content including graphics, web bugs are rendered inactive, bandwidth is protected, and viruses and malicious scripts are stopped from spreading.
