Bitdefender AntiSpam: worth a try?

[Julian Field]

Can you get me a downloaded copy and a demo licence so I can write the 
code please?
You can send me big downloads and files via dropoff.ecs.soton.ac.uk with 
email address mailscanner at ecs.soton.ac.uk. Send me any licence keys 
off-list.

Then I'll see what I can do for you.

Cheers,
Jules.
