SpamButcher is an easy to use anti-spam filter that checks for new messages in your inbox every X minutes and if it finds any spam, the messages are moved to a holding area for your later examination or deletion. SpamButcher utilizes a fuzzy logic system that offers 3 levels of aggressiveness. During our tests, it detected a high percentage of spam with almost no false positives. SpamButcher works directly on your POP3 mailbox and runs independently of any email program. You can also add senders to a WhiteList or BlackList in order to keep their mail from being accidentally filtered. The filtered email is saved and can be purged after review or optionally automatically every X days. In addition, SpamButcher can optionally send you scheduled reports of all intercepted spam via e-mail and clicking on an email in the report can automatically restore it to your inbox. The program requires a POP3 account and therefore does not work with AOL or Hotmail accounts. Additional features include blocking of virus attachments and custom filter options.

CleanMail Home (formerly No Spam Today! for Workstations) is a POP3 spam and antivirus filter for Outlook, Outlook Express and all other POP3 email clients, that uses the SpamAssassin engine to perform Bayesian filtering of incoming messages, and also quarantines message attachments for added security. The program runs as a local POP3 server and marks the subject line of incoming spam, so you can use your email program`s rules feature to further process the messages based on your preference (move them, delete them etc.). You can customize the text that is added to the subject line, and also choose to delete spam messages immediately. The (open-source) spam engine used, has been proven to work very effectively, however to get most out of the program, you will need some basic understanding of POP accounts and email rules.

Mail Snoop Pro is an email spam filter that relies on manual filter configurations to identify and delete spam messages before they arrive in your Inbox. The program offers a set of filters that inspect the email subject, sender, message body, headers, attachments and other message properties and then makes a decision on whether do delete a message or let it pass through to your email client. The filters are pre-configured and can detect most common spam out-of-the-box and you can customize the filter settings based on your personal preference. Event though spam is deleted right away, the program keeps a backup copy of each deleted message and allows you to restore an item if it was incorrectly classified as spam. Unfortunately Mail Snoop Pro does not offer any learning mode (as most modern spam filter) so it will require frequent updating and tweaking in order to keep up with the latest spam scams. Other features include support for DNS blacklists, country specific filtering, support for multiple accounts, new mail notifications and more. Mail Snoop Pro works with POP3, IMAP and Hotmail accounts.

Spam Bully is an anti-spam tool for MS Outlook, that learns from spam messages and continually adjusts itself to protect your mailbox. It uses proactive rather than reactive methods for eliminating spam, and will actually keep 99% of spam out of your inbox in most cases. We tested it on our spam mailbox and it filtered 199 out of 200 spam messages that were downloaded. This is very impressive, considering that it does not require any kind of user configurations. If needed however, you can customize the filtering by maintaining an automatically generated Friends list and also add any senders to a block list with a single click. Spam Bully tightly integrates with Outlook and moves all spam messages into a new folder (Spam) from where they can be permanently deleted. This enables you to keep an eye on what is being filtered and to make sure that no good messages got caught by the filter. The program can also bounce messages from known spammers, query emails sent from unknown senders (require confirmation), block selected attachments types and more. In addition, it produces a nice graph view that you can use to view your daily, weekly or yearly spam statistics. An excellent choice for Outlook users, and from what we have tested so far, it is definitely the most sophisticated one. A must-try for any Outlook user!
