What makes OmniNet's Anti-Spam solution different?

Our system will send you an Anti-Spam Report showing you any messages that could potentially have been picked up incorrectly. You then have the option to release the message or to whitelist the sender so no email from that person will be blocked in the future. This makes it extremely simple to use for even the most technically challenged people.

What should I do if I get Spam in my inbox?

Never respond to spam, even something as simple as "Don't spam me" will show that your email address is valid. Just delete the spam and contact us to sign up for our Anti-Spam.

Isn't spam illegal?
