I am getting more and more spam on my BlackBerry mail. Is there an efficient spam filter solution? I would appreciate any feedback!
Thanks

AntAir makes about only on-device spam filter for the BB.

Is this your user@<hidden> address?

Server-side spam filtering (or even before mail hits the server) is the way to go.

Thanks for your replies JSander and takeshi.

I have just started a free trial of the Intomic filter service (Intomic spam filtering :: Home (http://www.intomic.com)) that was referred by a colleague today. It seems to work well so far. Will post some feedback in a week or so if that's of interest.
Cheers,
Joan

Good deal, I will also recommend Avast, Home Edition. Free.
FREE avast! antivirus 4.x Home Edition, anti-spyware & anti-rootkit for Windows (http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html)

As promised here is my feedback using Intomic antispam on my BlackBerry.

In fact, it is simply the solution I was looking for: very efficient, easy to use (some very clever features to manage Trusted senders, quarantine...), a breeze to setup (actually no software to install, I just had to register my email account info online).

An additional service I do appreciate - they can rapatriate two other email accounts I use to my BlackBerry account so I only have to check a single address now.

That's a pleasure not to have to crawl in dozens of spams every hour!
Last but not least: it is cheap (25 euros for one year).

I would certainly recommend this solution... as my colleague did to me, rightly.

Hope that helps.
J.
