"One of the most powerful Bayesian-based filters we've encountered, this plugs straight into Microsoft Outlook. It's effective, well-integrated, fast-working, and excellent value for the money."
PC
World (June 2004)
Title: 'Spam-Proof Your In-Box'
"InBoxer ($28) beat down more spam than any other product in this review, while maintaining an acceptably low rate of false positives...
"InBoxer's accuracy impressed me. The program let 26 out of 2135 spam messages--or about 1.3 percent--slip through. This level of accuracy puts InBoxer ahead of some sophisticated and expensive corporate filters.
"The application mistook only one real message from an individual user for spam"
PC Plus (June 2004)
Title: 'Audiotrieve InBoxer 1.2'
"Outlook spammers have finally met their match in the shape of InBoxer 1.2. ... A couple of weeks of use was all it took to get the false positive
rate down to an average of none in daily use, and very few when deluged with a couple of thousand test messages. Look out spammers, Outlook's
back in business again."
PC Plus (May 2004)
Title: 'How to Get Ahead of Advertisers'
"Do invest in anti-spam software ... as in InBoxer, which I'm currently using. It's successfully screening out 98% of all spam heading my way and it's $25 well spent I'd say... "

Title: 'Heavyweight Meat Beating'
"This heavyweight spam champion has been my junk-bashing sparring partner for the last six months, both through beta testing and out in the wild, and it's so good I've stopped looking for any alternative client-side spam control."
"Spam removal rate is 98 per cent and my own false positive rate is running at just 0.2 per cent, or roughly one mistake for every 450 successful catches."
Australian PC World (March 2004)
Title: 'Anti-Spam Software'
"Most spam filters work by applying a specific set of rules and lists to each incoming message, but InBoxer is different. It uses language-processing technologies to identify more accurately which messages are unwanted. The system works surprisingly well - it picked up the vast majority of our junk mail and, in the time we tested it, only one message was incorrectly identified as spam."

"In our tests, one product really stood out above the rest and is a must-have
for users of Outlook. Because it's simple to install, made very few mistakes and learns from the emails you mark as spam or otherwise. Audiotrieve's InBoxer gets our Best on Test award. It's a great application with no complicated rules and doesn't require you to change the settings of your email application to use it."

"a fit-and-forget spam solution from the team behind Dragon
NaturallySpeaking and is very easy to use. It recently achieved the
highest ever rating
for a desktop anti-spam product ... My usage here over eight weeks
backs this up, and I'm currently hitting a 98 percent spam removal
figure. The sorting of spam into blocked and 'for review' folders
is a good idea, although the latter soon becomes redundant, as it's
so accurate in spotting the meaty stuff."

"Our Editor's Choice award ... It provides a simple interface and performed well in our tests,
both
in terms of detection rate and number of interventions it required.
It needed no initial training and, by providing a 'not sure' review
folder, cuts down on the amount of time spent wading through messages
to decide manually if they're spam or not. One of the few packages
to score no false positives at all, it's easy to use, learns from the
messages that you review to become even better over time, and integrates
seamlessly with Outlook. We have no hesitation at all in awarding the
Editor's Choice award to Audiotrieve's InBoxer.... InBoxer is a joy
to use; it does its work, it doesn't crash, it doesn't misfile many
messages and it detects a lot of spam. It's as close to 'fit and forget'
as you can have while still being reliable."
FastCompany (December
2003)
Title: 'Filtering Spam Filters'
"Some of the most effective new approaches make intelligent choices by actually
reading your mail. InBoxer, which works with Microsoft Outlook, analyzes every
word of the messages in your Inbox to learn the characteristics of email that
is meaningful to you. Though the software is tailored for each user, it finds
that such words as 'wealth', 'millionaires.' and 'secrets' tend to tar a message
as spam.
" InBoxer, from a startup called Audiotrieve, separates spam into two different
folders. One, called 'review,' is for stuff that appears to be spam but may not
be. Users need to look at the review folder occasionally, tagging messages as
spam or not spam. Since the review folder contains fewer messages than the blocked
folder, it doesn't take much time to separate a request to assist the family
of a former African despot from a deal on last-minute airfares that you may want
to keep."

Title: 'The Impossible Dream: Outlook Without
Spam'
"Of the options we've tried so far, the one that takes the least effort
for the best results is InBoxer from Audiotrieve LLC.... InBoxer proved surprisingly
smart in intercepting 95-plus-percent of our daily junk mail. And while it let
through a few dozen Viagra alternatives and lonely coeds in our two weeks' use,
it nearly aced the more important test of properly delivering desired or genuine
e-mails: out of over 1,700 messages, the software posted only two "false
positives" in routing real mail to one of its you-probably-want-to-delete-this
bins instead of Outlook's Inbox folder.... It's fun to poke around in InBoxer's
settings and check the "message analysis" breakdown of individual e-mails,
showing how they earned their probability-of-spam rating. One of this morning's
muscle-building miracles, for instance, includes the word building, which InBoxer
notes appears in 43 messages we've kept and only 20 we've deleted, but also forever,
which appears in only 3 good versus 10 bad messages, and sexual, which carries
a 96-percent chance of spam — we've kept it only once and deleted it 25
times. (The former was a note about the company's sexual-harassment seminar,
if you must know, though Audiotrieve claims that InBoxer can eventually learn
to allow sexy notes from your spouse while dumping pornographic spam.).... InBoxer
is impressive."
Wired (28

Title: 'Spam Pitches Are Mutating Faster'
"Antispam programmers take their job seriously, and not just for the money

Title: 'My top three picks for killing spam'
"After much searching I did manage to find three programs that do a decent
job of eradicating my inbox's worst enemy. Here they are: InBoxer for Outlook
claims to block 99 percent of illegitimate e-mails using language recognition
technology to pick out spam-speak. It also learns (from you) how to recognize
spam. Filtered e-mails are moved to a folder where you can quickly review them
and pick and choose senders whose messages you don't want filtered. (Shareware/Windows)....
If you're sick of wasting time dealing with unwanted e-mails, try these programs.
They're not perfect, but they've made my mornings a lot more enjoyable."

Spamotomy (28

Title: 'Best Rating'
"Here at Spamotomy, we readily admit that we set the bar pretty high when
it comes to giving out our best rating, the coveted Four Envelopes. To get this
rating, products not only have to be easy to use, but also have to have straight-forward
installation and configuration processes; and most importantly, they must be
able to filter out 96% or more of all incoming spam with almost no false positives.
It's a tough bar to reach but, every now and then, we come across a product that
does it with ease. InBoxer 1.0 from Audiotrieve is a perfect example of such
a product."

InBoxer as having "virtually wiped out spam from my inbox and let all of

I tried." "An analyst who's test driven InBoxer also gives a good review. "Accuracy
and ease-of-use are the most important features of any anti-spam filter," said
Mark Her, senior analyst with Boulder, Colo.'s Enterprise Management Associates. "InBoxer
empowers Outlook users with state-of-the-art anti-spam technology, providing
an extremely accurate and easy-to-use mechanism that ensures that they do not
receive unwanted junk mail in their Inboxes."
