Funktioniert einwandfrei, ich nutze überwiegend die Blocks von IP-Adressen. Auch der Support ist sehr kompetent. Man kann auch IP-Bereiche sperren z.B. 99.99.99*, erwies sich bei mir als sehr effektiv, da Spammer immer wieder versuchen mit der nächsten IP um die Ecke zu kommen. Wünschenswert wäre eine numerische Sortierung der IP-Adressen, damit man sich nicht durch die Suchfunktion hangeln muss ! Auch wünschenswert wäre ein Feld, wo man eigenständig vermerken kann, warum man einen bestimmten Block kreiert.

Works well for me. I can see all the junk mail that it blocks in my Trash folder. The bounce back feature is also really nice.
