Even though there are several very good spam solutions, only one stands head-and-shoulders above the rest, and that is Cloudmark. The main reason the software is so effective is that it has the power to apply human feedback in real time to block spam, phishing, and additionally many viruses and spyware. Leveraging a highly sophisticated Trust Evaluation System (TeS), feedback is corroborated in real time, so that only a few people ever have to see a spam email before it is blocked for everyone. Cloudmark models digital reputation the same way as reputation works in the real world.
