Unhappy Best Spam Blocker?
I have been using McAfee Spamkiller for awhile, but lately
it only blocks a fraction of the spam I'm getting hit with (a LOT
more in the past month!). Seems like McAfee isn't keeping up
with spammers.

Can anyone suggest the best spam-blocking program?

I use Eudora 5.0 for email, with a dial-up account to EarthLink.

Thanks for any suggestions....

With Outlook, SpamBayes does the job. I never get spam in the in box

Use the Earthlink spam blocker - you administer it through the webmail interface.

I've used POPFile and it worked very well, thought it takes more work to setup than the other suggested solutions.
