Spamihilator 0.9.9.53

Rated 10/50 by robanner at Jan 4, 2008

I think this could be a useful program but it just didn't work for me (Windows ME) Don't know if it didn't download properly but found I couldn't retrieve email from the recycle bin. A list of deleted mail is supposed to come up but in my case it didn't. Couldn't find any instructions on how to deal with problems. I'm a fairly competent computer user but couldn't get to grips with this at all. Also, the download speed is very slow and the website doesn't give enough information about the product. After a bit of trial and error and losing several emails I uninstalled. Potentially good but not there yet.

The software in question is excellent. I've been using it for some time now and only one or two spam messages get through the filter (and the rest gets filtered out). Highly configurable, easy to use, available in several languages, stable, versatile (thanks to many plug-ins available), effective. Quite economical on system resources (takes around 8 MB of RAM).

Works very well with a minimum of spam (thans to the standard filter) and at last an indication that e-mail has arrived. For POP3 e-mail only, nor for Windows Live Messenger

Here is another program that functions the same way, with more options(not free). Has been avialable for years. http://www.firetrust.com...products/mailwasher-pro

"Not entirely a bad program" when it works, it works well. I receive a lot of spam (mostly MLM, pharmeceuticals and male enhancement even though I am female) stupid stuff really, but stuff that I cannot unsubscribe from, since there is no way to do so. When I open Outlook Express, Spamihilator starts running as it should. If I don't shut Outlook immediately after the e-mail messages start receiving, they tend to go directly to Outlook instead of Spamihilator without being checked first. It would seem that the programs are not synchronized, and after using this program for several months I shouldn't have to keep "training" Spamihilator.

"Want that spam in the right place,get this" Better than paid ones,easy too use and install,gives you lots of control on what you want to do with the spam,and is a great learner,its free give it a try you cant lose. A bit slow in getting through the spam,but worth it.

Good program but it doesn't support the new Windows Live Mail yet. It only supports up to outlook express 6.

Tried this, its fiddly and with due respect, Outlook 2003 does a great job also;) so although its free, it doesnt cut it for me.

Using it since some years now. I'm using it with Vista's Windows Mail and it works perfectly...can't understand the "lack of support" another user reported. Maybe the lack of an autosetup for the mail accounts in Windows Mail...but it's easy to set them up manually.

"Not Good" It doesn't know the difference between spam and mailing list emails from sites I want to receive info from. It deletes the emails wh=ithout giving me a chance to say yes or no to each so I got rid of it.

Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail are two totally different products. Just for your info. ;)

I used this program for a year and a half or more. Recently I changed my email to Gmail, and I do not need any anti-spam software any more :). Gmail doesn't send or attach any spam to your mail. Also it can filter spam from other email accounts you might have which can be attached to your Gmail account and you can have all mail in one place with spam filtered :). Also Gmail supports IMAP protocol which allows in very easy way to synchonize all your devices like PDAs, Mobiles, Laptops, Desktops, etc.

"Best spam killer out there, and it's free" PowerfulCustomizableExtensibleFlexibleFree! Can take a while to learngmail and yahoo have very good built in spam filters tooErrs on the side of permissiveness This is excellent software. Smart, configurable, effective. There's a certain amount of satisfaction tuning your own email client to block spam.

Easy to install and nice user interface. Training feature allows you to help the tool know good email from bad. Only SPAM Filter that I got to work with Goldmine email client. System tray Icon tells you how many suspect emails passed through. It does require you to do some Training on what is SPAM, but the interface is very clean and simple to use. I tried a number of SPAM filter programs, but Spamihilator was the one that worked in between my Goldmine email client and my ISP. There are some manual changes you need to make to your Goldmine email configuration, but the Help manual was clear on the steps. Other SPAM Filter programs tried to auto-configure, but failed. Free but you can Donate

Sorry, but as a program which is designed to work together with major mail clients it should be able to find a Thunderbird profile even if this Thunderbird isn't installed, but only used as unZipped Add. Thunderbird is known to use a well known path in Windows systems... which Spamihilator doesn't find?!?!? Additionally there is no possibility to configure it to work with additional Mail accounts?!? Who in the world (except the REAL greenhorns, sorry to say that) does only use one mail account??? So in my eyes there is still a lot of work to do on Spamihilator to make it a useful program... without even a functionality test I tend to rate it too positive - that's the reason for 3 *.
