Antispam

K9 is an anti-spam email filtering application that works in conjunction with regular POP3 email programs and automatically classifies incoming emails as spam (junk email) or non-spam. It uses intelligent statistical analysis that can result in extremely high accuracy over time. It also eliminates the need for maintaining dozens of rules or constant updates to be downloaded. K9 learns from what you consider to be spam and automatically tags all future emails that match the pattern. You can then set up rules (in Outlook or Outlook Express, etc.) to delete or move the spam-tagged messages.

POPFile requires very little training to be effective, and can be programmed with whitelists to further increase its accuracy. It works with any POP3-compatible email program and can be used by one or more users simultaneously.

SpamBayes is an intelligent spam filter and message classifier for Outlook. It automatically categorises your incoming messages into "good", "spam" and "unsure", then puts them into the associated folder. The program uses an advanced, bayesian filtering method that requires no manual setup and the more email it processes, the smarter it gets. It includes a training wizard that can be used to feed it some spam messages, otherwise it learns from your incoming email as you go.
