McAfee Spam Submission tool

Spammers are takes several methods like changing their address constantly to fool spam blockers.

McAfee Spam Submission Tool version 2.2 can also be used with McAfee Secure Content Management appliances and McAfee Quarantine Manager to train the Bayesian database. The tool supports auto Black/Whitelisting and has an installer that supports automated script-based installations.

This tool only works with Microsoft Outlook (not with Outlook Express) and allows submitting 1Mb of file size.
