Just found an excellent piece of shareware to junk Spam and bounce messages back as if your mail address no longer exists.
And it is real shareware, never expires and works!!!

Inerested, but (1) From time to time I get sales enquiries from people I don't know, and (2) I run NAV to fish out viruses, (3) Outlook Express allows me to block unwanted senders or other actions via Message rules.

Is there anything mailwasher does that I can't currently do, ie differentiate spam from an unknown sales lead?

I can confirm that Mailwasher works with Norton AV as I also use that.

Mailwasher is intended to be run before you start your mail client. This way you can check messages before downloading. At this stage the individual mail address or mail domain can be added to a friend list or black-list. You can also preview messages without the sender knowing you've read it, unlike other mail clients.
The important feature it provides is a way to bounce messages back to the Spam sender so you are removed from their mailing list (hopefully).
Check out the website, it explains all this and more.
