SpamButcher

POP3 spam filter

Our Rating: 3.5 stars (Good!)

SpamButcher is an easy to use anti-spam filter that checks for new messages in your inbox every X minutes and if it finds any spam, the messages are moved to a holding area for your later examination or deletion. SpamButcher utilizes a fuzzy logic system that offers 3 levels of aggressiveness. During our tests, it detected a high percentage of spam with almost no false positives. SpamButcher works directly on your POP3 mailbox and runs independently of any email program. You can also add senders to a WhiteList or BlackList in order to keep their mail from being accidentally filtered. The filtered email is saved and can be purged after review or optionally automatically every X days. In addition, SpamButcher can optionally send you scheduled reports of all intercepted spam via e-mail and clicking on an email in the report can automatically restore it to your inbox. The program requires a POP3 account and therefore does not work with AOL or Hotmail accounts. Additional features include blocking of virus attachments and custom filter options.

Pros: Filters a high percentage of spam; spam is filtered before it enters your email program; allows you to recover messages from spam

Cons: Limited control over filtering, cannot filter by domain or language, filter updates require new install
