SpamWeed Allow list is a useful tool for protecting emails from friends. There are three ways that users can add contacts to Alllow List.

1. Address book import during installation
2. input contacts manually in white list window
3. right click any email and select "add senders to white list"

Apart from the above, SpamWeed automatically maintains a "system whitelist" which intelligently decides who is your friend based on your incoming and outgoing mails.

SpamWeed Black List is not a primary method to block spam. Instead, it is designed for your convenience. For example, when you don't want to receive email from a mailing list, you can unsubscribe, or simply add the mailing address to black list and receive no more such email.

The Keyword List is also designed to protect your legitimate mail from being accidentally classified as spam. Occasions that you can make use of it are:

-- If you receive mail from a mailing list, which does not use fixed From or To address, you can use keywords to protect these messages. For example, a biologist probably can put these words into the keyword list to protect mail from his professional mailing lists: DNA, gene.

-- If you do business on eBay or other e-commerce site, you may protect your order or bid emails by adding keywords to the list, e.g. put [ebay: new bid] into the subject keyword list.

Keyword List is divided into two parts: Subject Keywords only match the subject text, and Body Keywords match words or phrases appear in message body. By default, all keywords are NOT case-sensitive. To make keyword case-sensitive, prefix it with back-quote ( ` ), the key located at the left of number 1 on a standard US-101 keyboard.

Please note: keywords are only used to protect legitimate mail, you can't use keywords to block spam.

I have tested out several similar software - sometimes spending hours entering all kinds of filtering criteria. Your product is by far superior, and what was the most remarkable was the almost total lack of setup on my part! Thanks also to your tech department for being patient and responsive.

No suggestion. I just had to comment on how wonderful SpamWeed is. I can't describe how thrilled I am with it. I've only had it for a few days but it works so well 100% so far. PERFECT! It is so easy to use and it hasn't blocked any of my customer's emails either...
