- Spampal , Editor's Pick
- SpamPal is an anti-spam tool that runs as a local POP server, receiving and filtering your email before it arrives in your inbox. Unlike many other anti-spam solutions, SpamPal does not delete any messages, but rather adds a ***SPAM**** mark to the email subject, which you can then use to configure your email program and have it delete or move them to a different folder. In addition, you can maintain a white-list of senders that will always be accepted, as well as a blacklist of senders that will always be rejected (tagged). The program offers a handy auto-whitelist which can automatically add frequent contacts to the list and exclude them from ever being tagged as spam. By default, SpamPal relies on DNSBL lists alone, which identifies spam based on an entry for the sender in one of the public DNSBL lists. However, you can optionally activated plug-ins that will also act on "bad words" found in the message body. Overall SpamPal provides a nice solution to combat spam and offers many useful features. E-mail filtering is very slow, and due to the lack of advanced word filters, it catches only a portion of the spam, while better results require expert tweaking and plug-ins. Also has a Bayesian filter plugin.

- Tagged Msg Delivery Agent
- Uses a blacklist/whitelist approach. All users are blacklisted at first. When a blacklisted mail is received the program automatically sends a reply asking the person to reply back to confirm they are a real person, not a spambot. When the reply is received the original message is delivered to the user and the person is added to the whitelist. Unixes only.
