Publisher's Description

Spamihilator examines your Emails while downloading from the server and deletes unwanted advertising messages. It works between your Email-Client-Software and the Internet. Every time you receive messages, they will be checked. Useless spam mails will be filtered out. This process works completely in the background. It runs with almost every Email-Software such as Outlook 2000/XP/Express, Eudora, Pegasus Mail, Phoenix Mail, Opera, Mozilla, Netscape, etc.

I used this for Outlook 2010, it installed and seemed to disappear. I could not find any trace of the program but as soon as mail check started,..it scanned my incoming mail..It hung on Gmail and had to reboot to get outlook back. Same thing again...So I uninstalled it...trouble is it buried it's self deep in the registry and even after I uninstalled it, I kept starting..so did a registry purge and it STILL started...It totally mucked up my outlook profile and had to create a new profile to get rid of it...Not sure why it hung up my system but users be aware of the difficulty of uninstalling this addon...

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 *.

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.

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.

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).

I have used many anti-spammers, and keep coming back to this. There isn't many AS programs out there for other mailer's, other then Outlook. This program rocks, kicks butt, and it's easy to use.

Highly recommended. No other AS can compete with this one. I'd actually rate it 5 time what it's rated now.

Effective, flexible, and easy to use. What more could you want in a spam filter? Try it, you will like it. SpamPal is (was) as good as Spamhilator, but unfortuantely the author is has not been updating it.

@cyberia : this report of your AV is obviously a false positive.

Spamihilator & Spampal are the best anti-spam solutions for a home computer.

A good plugin for Spamihilator is DNSBL 0.8, with xbl.spamhaus.org

- fixed bug: Spamihilator stalled in rare situations
- fixed bug: Some servers allow mails ending with a dot. This could
cause Spamihilator to crash
- fixed bug: Some servers do not use a unique ID. This could cause
Spamihilator to crash

Here's am interesting advice from war593122
on Jun 26, 2004:
-------------------------------------------

Version: 0.9.8.3

I love it!!

Even works with others such as pop-file.

Just set to connect to server like so:

127.0.0.1:EMailServerAdress&Username&110

Ex. 127.0.0.1:24.24.24.999&war&110

Now the important thing is that your e-mail client and
Spamihilator have to use different ports. I personally
use 111 for e-mail client and 110 for Spamihilator.

Do not forget to open both ports for router and firewall.

I have tested this with Outlook 2003, outlook express and mozilla thunderbird and it works great.

I'm really loving this one. Working great since I have 99.99% training with pop-file already.

No slow down at all and small memory space as well. 636k. :)

Keep up the great work and best of all its 100% free with no ads or spyware

Very nice program. It's hard to decide which I like better, Spamhilator or SpamPal. I guess Spamhilator is easier to use, but SpamPal has a better spam ratio, if only a little bit. Spamhilator went a long time wothout an update. SpamPal updates often. Flip a coin, you can't go wrong with either.

Have been using this for a month now and, although I don't get much spam in my home address, it has worked really, really well; great sensitivity and great precision, too.

The only thing that makes me wonder is why if I'm doing anything else over my puny 56k it won't connect - it wants the line all by itself...

bobad reviewed v0.9.8.3 on Jun 27, 2004

Interesting program. Fairly easy to set up in "non-supported" e-mails such as FoxMail anForte Agent. Works on "spam words", "friends list", and Bayesian filter. No DNSBL's, which should make it very fast compared to say SpamPal (a *great* program!). I like the Recycle Bin, and the way the "training area" can be toggled from there. It imported my exported (yes, I said that right) address list from Agent, and also imported my White List from SpamPal, which is a huge plus. I will be using Spamihilator exclusively for a week or 2 just to test it out. SpamPal is about 97%, which is going to be very hard to beat. Only beefs so far is language, no Englisch in the support forums. Also the "Spam Words" list is buggy, plus it can not be edited. Try to edit an existing word, and it adds a new word.

Tried alot of others and even uninstalled Norton AntiSpam because this works far better.

Well done Mike keep up the good work.
