There are many ways to manage spam. Our goal here is to provide
you with links and explanations to third-party services and other
options you may have as well as a form to request these services
from Johnson Services. We do not support any of the third party
options mentioned, nor do we warrant that the services are reliable
or safe.
Some
spam options you may wish to review include:

Third-Party Services
E-Mail Software Options:
These are options that are provided by your e-mail software
directly. They do not require any further subscription fees beyond
the purchase price, if any, of the software itself.
E-Mail Software Add-Ins:
These are add-in programs that "hook" into your current e-mail
software to provide services that would otherwise be unavailable to
you with your chosen software. Rather than list each one, please see
this comparison page for details.
Third-Party Filtering Services:
These are services provided by third parties. Your e-mail is
re-routed to their servers where they provide the spam and virus
filtering for you. There is a monthly or annual fee associated with
these services. The advantage here is that they maintain all the
updates necessary and there is no additional software to add to your
computer that might interfere with your normal day-to-day
operations. The disadvantage is the cost. However, the costs may be
less than the benefits obtained.
The two main methods used by these services include filters (much
like anti-virus filters) and the
challenge/response or "white list" method.
