Co-owner and founder Martin Thorborg has sympathy for these users after having to battle with spammers. "In our previous company, Jubii, we were overtaken by spammers, causing our mail server to stop working, and our users to be unable to send or receive email for a week. After this, it became our goal to help never have this happen to anyone again." Learn more about our struggle with spam e-mail here

With the ever increasing number of e-mail communications every day of both legitimate e-mail and spam, effective e-mail management has become more and more crucial. One example of how overwhelming spam can be can be seen in one SPAMfighter user. Over the course of 2 years, this user has on average received 3100 e-mails per day, and approximately 2800 of these were spam filtered by SPAMfighter. Fewer spam mails in user's inboxes equate to, at best, hours saved daily from sorting through spam and legitimate e-mails. This is just one such example.
