Notes spam pretty much gone

I work for IBM and am one of a growing number of employees who have chosen to BYOD - "bring your own device" -- as my computing platform. My BYOD is a Mac but I needed to continue to use Lotus Notes as my business email client. Quite a bit of spam bleeds through our corporate filters so I wanted to address this and get closer to "Mac nirvana." My search led me to SpamSentinel Client. Wow. It integrates seamlessly as a widget as has worked day-1 with no muss or fuss. It uses a straightforward approach, leveraging a database of spam sources to ID unwanted email. It has overrides that let you declare emails as spam, not spam or "always file to." A sidebar window lets you see its decision making -- very comforting as you get started with the tool. Right now its quite nearly 100% doing what I would want for me. No more trying to pick out the legitimate emails from a sea of spam or, worse yet, risking deletion of legitimate email during the spam purges. Mac nirvana? One step closer ...
