I just love your program, it saves me so much time when checking my e-mail. I am hoping that with continued use that the spam will go away. Your program is worth the money. Thanks for this program.

I don't usually take time to comment on products, but this one deserves special note. I receive 300-500 emails a day...if I am lucky 10% are legit. I was spending 30 minutes a day creating new rules in Outlook until I tried your software... WOW...3 minutes (at the most) and I have a clean useful email box. You guys are a life saver...actually a time saver. I just found 27 minutes a day, that's almost one full week a year that I no longer have to spend on spam.

John A. Margolis

It is so gratifying to have a product with support from a live human being. Thanks for your reply. It's a big world, and you are far away, but you took the time to respond. Thanks again.

Rob Roy

Since using MailWasher® Pro software my stress level when dealing with email has dropped to zero. I love you guys. I no longer have to deal with anything I don't want to deal with. Bless you. Thank you. You have no idea how happy it makes me when I watch MailWasher® bouncing those creeps their mail back. You are the best! Many of the good things in life are coming out of New Zealand these days.

I'm a software professional specializing in, among other things, architecture, UI and design, and I must say I'm extremely impressed. It's very very rare to come across software that justifies all the superlatives on it's company's home page, but I must say that MailWasher Pro does so. It's a pleasure to use, simple, intuitive, elegant, and effective. Whoever is responsible should be congratulated and receive worldclass recognition for building a first class product that has a good chance, in my opinion of becoming the defacto world standard for anti-spam client software.

I will admit I am very happy with MailWasher Pro and the ease of it's use. I like how you can configure hotmail accounts as well with it. It's so easy to use, even my technophobe girlfriend is able to use it.

I would like to say that your product does exactly what it is supposed to and I am very impressed with it...I have been slowly overwhelmed by the amount of spam that came my way...up to 60/70 per morning...and it is but gone now... Thank you so much.
