What it is

Spamihilator is a free Windows program positioned between an email client and the Internet to filter incoming unsolicited mail. Its Learning Filter uses Bayesian filtering, and the site says it recognizes more than 98% of spam mails. Built-in Spam Word, Link, DCC, and Rule filters can be supplemented with custom words and regular expressions. The program works with POP3 and IMAP clients, including Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird, and uses SSL/TLS when supported by the mail server. Recognized spam is held in a Recycle Bin for restoration, and users can train the filter with spam and non-spam messages. An option can delete messages from blocked senders directly on the server before download. Plugins and add-ons can extend filtering or add functions, including DNS blacklist and SpamAssassin-header examples. The download page lists version 1.7 dated June 5, 2022, in 32-bit, 64-bit, and portable builds; not all plugins work with 64-bit. English and German are included, with a language pack adding over 30 languages.
