Welcome to Spam Attack
Welcome to SPAM Attack!!!

Thank you for using SPAM Attack!!! SPAM Attack was designed to help people filter their email and delete unwanted email from anyone. The program simply monitors your inbox for new mail and checks it again a list of filters. The filter can be almost anything that you want it to be. The program comes with a list of over 215 known spammers and the domains from which they send this mail.

SPAM Attack lets you add any other email addresses or sentences that you would like to filter your mail against. You could, for example, filter all the mail that has the sentence "Make Money" by simply adding the phrase to the filter list. You could also filter all the mail that contains the "$" character if you wish.

SPAM Attack works in the background while you are working on your computer. In order for it to work correctly with your Email Program, you will need to set your email program to NOT check your email automatically. SPAM Attack will inform you when you have new mail by flashing its task bar icon.

The following is a list of common activities:

Mail Handling Options

Spam Attack lets you filter mail differently and handle filtered mail differently.

Filtering Options:

Filter Email Addresses will check new mail against email addresses, domains, and phrases that you have entered into the filter list.

Filter Domains only will only check new mail against domains and phrases. This means that the messages will not be checked against email addresses.

Filtered Mail Options:

Retrieve Unwanted mail will save all unwanted mail in the directory in which SPAM Attack is installed under the name msg_##.eml. The messages will be retrieved and deleted off the server.

The Delete Unwanted mail option will only delete the mail. This means that all messages which were found to be unwanted will be deleted and your email program will never see them!
