Freeware Tools: Spamihilator 1.6.0

Spamihilator is a full featured anti-spam filtering program that works with any email client. It runs as a local POP server that sits between your email program and your mail server and filters mail based on a built-in filtering mechanism. In addition, you can maintain a blocklist as well as a list of friends (their mail will never be filtered) and customize the filtering with a variety of settings and plug-ins. The program automatically configures popular email clients (Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape etc.) to work with the filter. You can also change the aggressiveness of the filter.

Spamihilator is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you get rid of spam messages with the aid of a smart technique that identifies unwanted advertising messages before they even hit your inbox.

The program makes use of a built-in wizard that offers step-by-step guidance throughout the entire process, so even rookies can learn to tweak the parameters in no time.

The configuration wizard automatically detects the email programs installed on your computer and makes all the necessary settings for you. You actually need to confirm the detected email account and press a few next buttons. It is recommended to close all email clients before you proceed with the configuration process.

What’s more, you are allowed to alter the status window (adjust its size and transparency), configure tray area actions (e.g. double click on the program’s icon opens up the Recycle Bin or Training Area, show number of deleted messages), tweak parental control options by password-protecting the access to the Recycle Bin.

Training Area and all other items from the menu (so your children cannot gain access to adult content), and keep messages in the Recycle Bin for a custom number of days.

You can configure the Training Area by storing messages for a user-defined number of days, pre-mark all spam and/or non-spam mail, show messages from your friends and blocked senders in the Training Area.

All in all, Spamihilator comes with a handy suite of features for helping you filter out junk mails. The best part about it is that the spam cleaning process is carried out in the background, so you can continue with your work and leave the tool do the job for you.
