Fight Spam with Blue Frog

HATE SPAM?



Blue Frog actively fights spam and makes spammers leave you alone.
Blue Frog automatically reports your Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo spam directly from Firefox.
Your spam is analyzed by Blue Security experts that identify the web sites advertized by the spam you receive.
The Blue Frog desktop application then proceeds to post complaints on those web sites by browsing them and filling forms they contain. Complaints are anonymous and do not reveal your identity
.

Filtering spam is not enough. Blue Frog protects your email accounts or your entire mail domain by making spammers remove all Blue Community members from their mailing lists.

This release supports Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail but currently doesn't support the new Yahoo! Mail Beta.

Blue Frog is also available for Linux.

Here is the Firefox Extension for Blue Frog
And here is Blue Frog Homepage
