The typical spam filter relies on rather simplistic key words, rules, "blocked senders" and statistical analysis. Because of this, they will never be able to offer the real-world results that most users want. They will block legitimate email that you wish to receive, and let through email that you do not want; simply because an email that represents spam to some users might be considered legitimate and desired by others.
Most of us can agree that the Internet scams, pitches for Viagra, pornographic email solicitations and get-rich-quick schemes are junk. But, would everyone agree about an email from Amazon, Expedia, or even Wal-Mart that is only sent to existing customers?
Some users may not want to receive such emails, but others do. Whether or not these emails are spam depends on who you ask, and this is why no other solution can fulfill the promise of eliminating spam with such simplistic methods.
On the other hand, OnlyMyEmail offers you control of the filtering process in ways that no one else can. By simply answering a few questions, OnlyMyEmail allows you to be free from spam, based on your own unique needs and preferences.
More importantly, OnlyMyEmail learns from your email and your interactions with the system to adjust to your preferences in real time. As a result, OnlyMyEmail's determination of what represents "junk email" is actually unique to each of our customers. With OnlyMyEmail, you receive the email that you want, and we block the ones that you don't.
