I've been using Mail Washer since April -- GREAT program. I've turned many friends on to it. I actually sent a rather scathing letter to C|NET regarding a recent article about SPAM-stopping programs and how they didn't include this donationware gem (they only included two programs -- both cost over $50/year to use).

They replied that they rely on developers for software to rate -- I responded that they had just lost a reader to their weekly e-newsletter as that is really not acceptable journalism when you are making a comparison -- you've got to use any and all products.

Their reply -- and I quote: "Although we are sorry to see you remove yourself from our mailing list, please do not think losing one reader will hurt us. C|NET must look out for it's enterprise and thus we promote our sponsoring programs when we post reviews". Nice -- and sent from a dummy alias so I have no clue who actually sent it from C|NET. Won't be visiting C|NET or ZDNet anytime soon I guess......

Anyway, Mail Washer's a gem of a program well worth a donation to the developer.
