SpamPal

If you use a desktop mail client, you will probably have the problem that when it comes to downloading your mail, the task takes rather long, and once it has finished you actually realize that it is simply SPAM, unwanted mail. This problem gets worse over time, at the beginning they are only a couple of mail and you don't really notice, but after a while the can be more than a hundred a day. SpamPal detects these mails before they are downloaded on to your computer and eliminates them to ease the real mail download.

  Many SPAM mails have predefined patterns: they sell certain products or services, they link to certain websites, they try to deceive the recipient posing as someone with an important job in a well known company, ...

  SpamPal stays open in the system try checking periodicaly if there is any new mail, and if it finds any, it compares them with its black list. The black list includes all the directions, links and formats that it knows are SPAM. If SpamPal detects that one of these mails is on the black list, it automatically deletes it.

  As is logical, these lists and other detection options can be edit by the user to configure the exact detection level he wants.
