The Mailshell Anti-Spam Desktop Giveaway has ended, but donated and discounted Desktop and Gateway Anti-Spam software is available. Learn more.
On April 20, between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (9 a.m. to 8 p.m. EDT), U.S. libraries can order free anti-spam desktop software, donated by Mailshell, at TechSoup Stock.* This special offer is part of the "Read Books, Not Spam!" software donation campaign, sponsored by TechSoup.org and Mailshell.
To expedite your order on April 20, we encourage you to make sure your library is pre-registered and qualified in advance. Only libraries that are registered on TechSoup Stock will be eligible to place orders for the free software.
Organization Eligibility
This special offer is available to U.S. public libraries that have either a 501(c)(3) designation or an FSCS ID.
Already a customer? You're ready to order on April 20!
If you pre-registered your library for this offer or you are already a TechSoup Stock customer (and authorized to place orders on your library's behalf), then you are ready to come back and order on Wednesday, April 20, between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. PDT.
If not, register now at TechSoup Stock. Here's how:
If your library is not yet registered on TechSoup Stock:
If you are not sure whether your library is already registered, find out now
If your library is registered on TechSoup Stock but you are not able to place orders on its behalf, become authorized now
Note: Those already registered on MyTechSoup must still complete the separate TechSoup Stock registration process.
If you are a 501(c)(3) library and have not ordered products from TechSoup Stock before, your library will need to be qualified by TechSoup Stock before you will be able to receive this or any other donation. If yours is not a 501(c)(3) library, you can skip this step.
Just follow these steps:
Download and complete the special Mailshell Anti-Spam Donation Pre-Qualification Form. Download Form (Acrobat PDF)
Fax your completed form, along with the requested eligibility documentation, to (415) 633-9444.
Visit this page between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. PDT (9 a.m. to 8 p.m. EDT) on Wednesday, April 20 to place your order!
Please note that your library must be registered at TechSoup Stock (not just with MyTechSoup) to be eligible to place orders for the free software.
Orders placed before or after April 20 will not be eligible for the special free offer - so come back and order on April 20.
We encourage you to visit the Library Programs page to see whether your library might benefit from any of the other donated and discounted technology products at TechSoup Stock.
* This software will be available to libraries for a small admin fee after April 20, the day of the Giveaway.
What is Mailshell Anti-Spam Desktop?
Mailshell Anti-Spam Desktop is a desktop-based spam-filtering solution for Windows users. It works with most e-mail applications, and features full integration with Outlook or Outlook Express.
Mailshell Anti-Spam Desktop intercepts incoming e-mail messages before they hit the user's inbox. Users can set up Mailshell Anti-Spam to simply delete e-mails over a certain Spam Score, put spam in its own folder, or simply mark the spam so individual users can clearly identify and sort it with their mail clients.
