- Akismet - A WordPress plugin that helps you detect comment spam and trackback spam.

- McAfee SiteAdvisor - Browser plugin that tests websites for spam, viruses and spyware.
- Blacklist check - This website allows you to check if a particular mail server IP address is blacklisted
- Twitter Spam Watch - Follow @spam on Twitter and then you'll be able to report spam to them via a Direct Message. Alternatively, you can report a spammer directly from their Twitter profile page.
