Can anyone suggest a GOOD spam checker?

    I send a lot of email marketing messages to my large mailing lists. Off-late I am facing a lot of delivery issues.

    The free content spam checkers are okay, but they don't recognize most of the words that are now considered as spam (including lyris/ezine).

    What i want is a great spam checker tool that suggestes alternatives also and shows why the message might get blocked in differnet mail clients/ISPs. I am ready to pay for it, if it works out well for me.

    Can anybody suggest such a tool.

    Thanks,
    Anny

    CloudMark Desktop is brilliant!

    It's fundamentally different from other spam filters in that instead of relying on pattern / phrase recognition to identify spam, it instead uses it's huge user base, who when they report spam by moving it to their spam folder identify emails for everyone else who will then have that same email filtered out automatically by the system.

    It's a very powerful approach when you have hundreds of thousands of users like they do!

    I've been using it for a couple of years now & can highly recommend it!

    yahoo does the same, but spammers are now generating random texts in emails for each user

    I don't want a s/w that will block spam messages from reaching my inbox.

    I want a checking tool that will help me identify spam words or phrases in MY email campaings and newsletters. But I need a fairly elaborate one.

    Because of these stringent spam filters, the delivery rate of my legitimate emails is going down. I want to make sure that there are no spam words/phrases in my email marketing messages, before sending them.

    Thanks, but what you guys have suggested, are all spam blockers that keep spam from reaching you.

    I want one that I can use before sending my email marketing messages, to see if there are any spam threats in the content. This is to ensure that my email reaches the inbox of my subscribers.

    Just like: ezinecheck.com/check.html, but a bit more up-to-date and elaborate.

    There is no complete solution for these. But the question is who among these spam checker are more reliable and accurate.
