Free Mailshell Anti-Spam software

An e-mail from TechSoup's Franziska Marks alerted me to a December 6th free giveaway of Mailshell Anti-Spam software. All U.S. and Canada-based public libraries and other types of nonprofits are eligible.  If your library is looking for some desktop spam software, here ya go--and it's free!

From the press release:

[F]ourth annual Stop Spam Today! campaign, a nationwide effort to help nonprofits and public libraries fight spam by providing free information, resources, and tools. The campaign culminates on December 6 in a one-day giveaway, during which nonprofits and libraries can visit www.stopspamtoday.org to order free copies of Mailshell’s Anti-Spam Desktop software. More than 275,000 copies of free anti-spam software were distributed during the previous “Stop Spam Today!” events, a testimonial to the ever-increasing need of nonprofits to protect themselves from unwanted software and its associated threats.

Qualified public libraries, nonprofits, and charitable organizations in the U.S. and in Canada that are registered with TechSoup’s product philanthropy service TechSoup Stock are eligible for the give-away. Organizations that are not already registered are strongly encouraged to pre-register at TechSoup Stock (www.techsoup.org/stock) before December 6, 2006. There is no cost to register or to participate in the program. Pre-registration will start the qualification process and will expedite order processing and delivery. On December 6, all registered organizations need to place their software order within 24 hours through www.stopspamtoday.org.
