Available only for Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, Spam Bully is neither as versatile or as efficient as rival anti-spam software. Although it uses Bayesian logic to filter your mail, we found it too enthusiastic about banishing legitimate messages to its spam folder and slow to train itself for accurate spam recognition. This is a shame as the program offers some excellent features, such as viewing the origin of an email on a world map and – justifying the 'bully tag' – punishing spammers by repeatedly clicking the URLs in their messages to waste their time and potentially increase their costs.
