Overview:

This section is for programs that help you deal with the mass volumes of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE or Spam) that many of us get today. These programs help you by deleting mail off the server that triggers certain criteria, by emailing the postmaster at the domain the spam originates from, and more. Read the readme files for these programs, as they have the ability to delete your mail without your permission and should be used, but used with care. For programs to download and read your mail, look in the Email Clients section. There are also tools that check your mail and notify you if you have new mail in the Email Checkers and Utilities Section.
