Shanghai, China (PRWEB) August 30, 2003 -- Lanfei Co. Ltd, the developer of SpamWeed professional spam filter, has teamed up with UK's No.1 Technology Magazine Publisher - Future Publishing, to offer its industry-leading client-side spam filter software to Future Publishing's readers.

Spam (or unsolicited commercial email) has become one of the biggest problems in email communication and so far, most spam filter technologies haven't been able to combat this problem very effectively. Most spam filter products on the market have failed to live up to their claims rendering their users to spend countless hours setting rules or creating blacklist to catch new and ever changing strands of junk mail.

Lanfei Co., with its proprietary filtering technology, developed SpamWeed professional spam filter - SpamWeed for POP3 and SpamWeed for Outlook to combat this problem. Since the initial release of SpamWeed for POP3 in April 2003, the product has been recognized as the most effective spam filter on the market. SpamWeed has an initial detection rate of 95% and after a short learning period, its intelligent filter can block out spam with an accuracy rate of over 99% with virtually no false positive.

What really makes SpamWeed stands above other spam filter products is its learning capability to identify new mutations of spam, its "user-friendly" interface and its ease-of-use features.

Future Publishing, recognizing the social and economic benefits of SpamWeed, has announced that it will promote SpamWeed across its 7 PCs related magazines, namely .Net, Internet Advisor, PC Plus, PC Format, PC Software, Microsoft Windows XP: The Official Magazine and PC Answers starting from September, 2003. The 7 magazines have a combined circulation volume of approximately 270,000 copies annually. Users who purchase any one of the magazines during the promotion campaign will be entitled to a free copy of SpamWeed for POP3. The promotion campaign ends at the end of January, 2004.
