Qurb Spam Filter Software Review
"Qurb couldn't be
more elegant or simpler to use. It adds a mere three buttons and a
folder to your Microsoft Outlook client, and it uses nothing but a
white list to filter incoming messages."
Cade Metz, senior writer
and Larry Seltzer, contributing editor to PC Magazine
"Qurb is the
only spam fighter we've seen that stops 100 percent of junk e-mail
straight out of the box. Impressive? You bet."

QURB STOPS SPAM.
Starting at the
very moment you completely install Qurb, all spam is blocked out of your
Microsoft Outlook Express or Outlook inbox.
Qurb is like
caller ID for emails. While being installed, Qurb scans your inbox and
your contacts folder to make an approved senders list that you
communicate with.
As you use your
email account, Qurb continuously updates this list. The emails you
receive from people you know is sent immediately to your inbox while all
other emails are quarantined, waiting for your review or deletion.
-
Qurb works for
Outlook Express or Outlook as an anti-spam plug-in.
-
Qurb places any
emails not sent by an approved sender in a quarantine folder.
-
If you approve a
sender, the emails are sent to the inbox.
-
Qurb builds a
preliminary list of approved senders by scanning folders and the
address book.

The approved list
is kept current by checking outgoing mail for the recipients’
addresses.

You can remove
email addresses the white list or approve them manually or through
existing messages.

Stop Spam.
Many anti-spam
tools attempt to discover spam by examining several different
characteristics. Qurb uses a completely unique and thorough approach.
All mail considered spam and kept from your inbox—unless it is sent by
an approved sender.
Letting Qurb scan
your outgoing emails and folders is the best means of approving senders.
It is just as easy to add senders manually or through the quarantine
folder.
