MailWasher Pro : Security Add-on

          MailWasher Pro is a highly competent, usable, secure and time-saving spam filtering tool. Combining multiple approaches, MailWasher Pro achieves a solid spam detection rate and protects you from viruses to some extent, too. Still, MailWasher Pro could be a little bit more comfortable by integrating with email programs better.

Advantages:

•     MailWasher Pro can filter spam precisely using statistics and black/white lists

•     Optionally, MailWasher Pro profits from the real-time FirstAlert! database of known junk

•    Supports POP and IMAP accounts as well as Hotmail, MSN and AOL

Disadvantages:

•     MailWasher Pro cannot further categorize and prioritize good mail

•     It would be great if mail could be viewed, hidden or grouped by status in MailWasher Pro

•     MailWasher Pro does not offer POP and IMAP proxy filtering

Description:

•     MailWasher Pro is a junk mail filter for POP, IMAP, MSN, Hotmail and AOL email accounts.

•     You can check, safely preview and delete mail right at the server with MailWasher Pro.

•     MailWasher Pro uses both powerful rules-based and Bayesian filters to detect spam.

•     Additionally, it can check DNS blacklists for known spammers and keep local black- and white lists.

•     As a further option, MailWasher Pro checks FirstAlert!, a community-fed database of known spam.

•     All spam submitted to FirstAlert! is verified so false positives are practically impossible.

•     The Bayesian filter used by MailWasher Pro learns with every message and is easy to teach.

•     MailWasher Pro can bounce mail found to be spam to the sender (I don't recommend this, though).

•     You can submit spam to Blue Security for active deterrence easily from MailWasher Pro.

•     MailWasher Pro supports Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/ Windows XP/Vista.
