A few years ago, I was really fed up with all the spam I was receiving. I’m not sure how many emails I received in my inbox every single day, but it was a few hundred. It didn’t take a lot of time, but enough for me to get quite frustrated. The reason I got frustrated was that it happened every single day.

I’ve been using Spam Arrest for a few years now, and I’m receiving close to zero spam.

They have some awesome statistics. I’ve received more than 101.000 messages, and close to 54.000 of them have been classified as spam. Check the stats below.

More than 50% of all the emails I’ve received was classified as spam, no wonder I was frustrated when I had to delete hundreds of emails every single day.

Easy to set up

It’s easy to set up. Just add some information to your Spam Arrest account, and add the new Spam Arrest information to your email account. It takes a few minutes, and it starts working straight away.

How Spam Arrest works

You have one white list of people you want to receive emails from (like your contacts). You have one blacklist of people you don’t want to receive emails from. When people that’s not on either of the lists sends you an email, they’ll get a message in return, asking them to confirm their email address by entering a captcha (random letters and numbers). When they enter it, they’ll never get the message again, and all their new emails to you will be sent directly to your inbox. If they don’t enter the captcha, you won’t receive the email.

All the automated spam messages will be stopped. If a few people sends you messages that you don’t want to receive, you can still block them even though they’ve entered the captcha. Just add them to your blacklist.

The free trial

I tried the free trial of Spam Arrest more than 2 years ago. Since then I’ve been a loyal member, and I probably will be for many years a head. It’s a real time saver and they have awesome support.
