SpamKiller may be effective, but be aware that it can require some work with the settings to make the product perform at its best. Average users may find this problematic.

Customization

A nice quality of the McAfee SpamKiller product is the customization tools, which are very easy to use. Add email addresses to your whitelists and blacklists and customize specific filters. With Spamkiller you even have the possibility to create different settings for different email address you may use.

Content filters

SpamKiller is good at blocking real spam and letting legitimate emails pass through to your inbox. However, you need to customize the settings in order for you to make the product to work perfectly.

Stability

Using Spamkiller is problem free. However, you need to be aware that the program slows down the performance of the computer a little.
