I don't use either. I protect my in-box with Spam Arrest, which is one of the services you mentioned not liking because it requires a person to verify him/herself in order to get email through to me. When I signed up for my account, I pre-approved most of the people who routinely write to me. Generally, I find most people have no issue with the verify thing; those who do are always free to not verify. I do review my spam filter weekly, and although I rarely have any email of note caught there, if I do, I authorize the sender myself. Just a perspective from the other side of things :) S I agree–Cloudmark is a phenomenal product–for Outlook/OE users.
