Get Spamnet for $1.99 a Month - But Not Until Tomorrow...?!
If you recall a recent discussion we had about spam, you'll know I'm a huge fan of Cloudmark Spamnet. I just signed up for their pay service last night, and was surprised to see that as a beta tester I was able to get the service for $1.99 a month instead of the normal $4.99 a month. I was willing to pay $5 a month for Spamnet, because I find it so useful in keeping spam away from me, but at $1.99 it's a no-brainer!
Cloudmark has a referral code service whereby if you download the client, install it, and click on the My Spamnet menu option inside Outlook, you'll get a chance to sign up for $1.99 a month for a year. When you get to that stage, use my referral code: RZ05HL. When you do so, you'll get the reduced price, and I'll get a free month. We both win. :-)
UPDATE: It turns out that the codes won't be active until TOMORROW, so you won't see the $1.99 discount appearing until then. My apologies - Cloudmark, if you're reading, DON'T send out offers that don't WORK! :really mad:

I'm not sure - I don't think so, because when they were explaining the referral code, they didn't say there was an expiry date on it.

I actually just bragged to my Mom about my current spam solution...
My old e-mail address was way too full of spam. I've had it for years, and wasn't careful with it. So I got a domain name so I could have my own mail address.
But I still wanted to use my old mail address. But even with come complicated outlook filtering, it still was an issue and I didn't look forward to going though my mail.
Solution... I set up outlook to ONLY check my primary mail address. I use a free e-mail program (Eudora) to check my other account. But I also use PopFile ( http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ ), a free perl program that uses the training concept to filter mail, to classify it all. It also gives me stats that lets me see that 60% of the mail I get there is spam. Yikes! (to be fair, I've moved most of my important stuff to my new account)

Looks like a great addition to fight SPAM!!!
I opened up My SpamNet and it is showing a subscription price of $3.99/Month with the $4.99 crossed off.....where is the $1.99 option?

I think you only get that when you put in the referral code I gave above.

I wouldn't pay $5 for Spamnet. Just not worth it. I prefer to use Spammunition, a FREE bayesian spam filter which has barely missed a mail so far, over 1000 spams caught. I used Spamnet and SpamAssassin on my server, and it didn't catch as much.
It's only problem is that you have to keep the spams in your spam folder, because it creates the list from start everytime.. but that should be fixed in the next version.

I feel Cheated
Jason you need to change the title on your story. I did what you said and all I get is
Your credit card has been charged $ 3.99 for your first month of spam protection. You will be charged this amount, per month, hereafter to continue your subscription to the SpamNet service.
I used your refrence code so you have a free month, but by the way I figure it you owe me $2/month. Please I will accept Visa, Master Card, or PayPal.

Hey, some inside info
All,
I contacted Cloudmark and inquired about the customer codes. They say that the referral code discount will not be active until tomorrow 10am PST and so it will be best to wait until then to give Jason his free months :-)
