3rd Feb 2003
Overall Rating
- Value for money
Integrated into Outlook,
Easy to Install,
Easy to Use,
Low false positives.
Bad Points
Poor performance,
Tool bar disappears whey using multiple windows in Outlook,
Poor at identifying subsiquent emails from spammers previously added to the blacklist.
General Comments
The performance of Cloudmark Spamnet in Outlook is very poor. Of 1703 spam emails received in January, Spamnet missed slightly over 42%, and the average per day didn't indicate any decreasing trend. On the other hand, there were about 30 false positives during the first 5 days, and almost 0% after that.
I believe that Cloudmark knows about the issues, but we are recommending other products for Outlook until they fix them.

Review: Cloudmark SpamNet beta 7d
For the past couple of months I've been experimenting with Cloudmark SpamNet, a free add-on for Microsoft Outlook 2000, XP, and 2002. Support for Outlook Express is said to be "coming soon."

I am rather surprised by the figures in your review. I have only been operating SpamNet for about three weeks but the success rate is between 90 & 95%. I am more than happy with this result as it is far superior to any other product I have come across.
