SpamPal
(Donationware)
OS: Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP
Languages: English, German (partial translation into French)
Description: SpamPal is a mail classification program that can help separate your spam from the mail you really want to read. SpamPal sits between your email program and your mailbox, checking your email as you retrieve it. Any email messages that SpamPal considers to be spam will be "tagged" with a special header; you simply configure your email client to filter anything with this header into a separate folder and your spam won't be mixed up with the rest of your email anymore! But how does SpamPal know what is spam and what isn't? Well, it uses what are called DNSBL lists. Patterned after the famous MAPS RBL, these are lists of parts of the Internet that in one way or another facilitate spam. Any email you get from a machine on one of these lists has an increased probability of being spam. Some ISPs already block all email from machines on some of these DNSBL lists, but many do not. This is where SpamPal comes in. You can choose to use any or all of the freely-usable DNSBL lists; SpamPal will look at the machines each email message passed through on its way to your mailbox, and if any of those machines is on one of the DNSBL lists you have chosen then that message will be tagged as spam. Because not everyone who uses a machine on a DNSBL list will be a spammer, SpamPal has a powerful whitelisting feature that allows you to ignore DNSBL listings for certain senders or for parts of the Internet. SpamPal does not work with: AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, Juno, MSN, Or any other proprietry mail system. NOTES: the manual must be read online or downloaded separately.

OS: Windows, Mac, Solaris

Description: QUALCOMM's PureVoice Player-Recorder lets you record and send voice messages with your e-mail, and lets your recipients play back your voice-mail messages on their Windows or Macintosh computer with the click of a mouse. PureVoice features an easy-to-use onscreen VCR-like instrument panel. Voice messages you compose with PureVoice have extremely high sound quality very nearly as high as you would experience in a local phone call made over a good-quality home telephone. Yet the voice messages take up very little space on your computer, and travel very fast over e-mail. You send a voice message by attaching it to an e- mail message using your existing e-mail software in most cases, this is achieved at the touch of a button in PureVoice! You can also include text in the e-mail message, and attach other files such as graphics and documents. QUALCOMM's PureVoice is compatible with most e-mail systems, including QUALCOMM's own Eudora Pro and Eudora Light. NOTES: In order for you to record a voice message using QUALCOMM's PureVoice, you must be using a PC running a 32-bit version of the Windows operating system (Windows 95, 98 or Windows NT), or you must be using a Macintosh PowerPC model or 68K Macintosh with 68020 or better processor. You must also have a sound card with speakers and a microphone. For your recipients to play your messages, they must have the PureVoice Player-Recorder installed on their 32-bit Windows 95/98/NT machine or their Macintosh PowerPC or 68K Mac, with a sound card and speakers. Additionally, if they wish to record a response, they must have a microphone.

Description: QuickSilver is PRIVACY software. It can give you complete privacy in your email and newsgroup postings. QuickSilver provides this magic through a kind of identity laundering. Using a special high secuirity protocol, called 'mixmaster', your outgoing message will be multi-encrypted and sent through a series of remailers. These are available around the world. Today some 45 or more remailers exist. Each server has a single purpose, That is, to accept your message, strip away all traces of origin--substituting its own--and send it on to either another remailer or the final recipient. It is this process (encrypting+remailing) that makes your mail untraceable and unreadable to all but the intended recipient.

Nfilter
(Betaware) (GNU licence (open source))
OS: Windows 9x/NT
Languages:
Description: Nfilter is a supplemental filtering program to your existing newsreader. It is designed to run transparently alongside any client for Windows such as Outlook Express, Agent, Netscape, etc. It is a 32-bit windows console application which will run on Windows '95, '98 or NT. It is especially useful if your newsreader doesn't have any filtering capabilities (eg. Netscape). Even if your news reader has filtering capabilities (eg. Agent), the filter can perform more advanced filtering on fields that are not normally available to your newsreader. Nfilter is capable of filtering on any fields that appear in the header of a news article, not just fields in the overview (normally news clients can only filter on author, subject, etc). For example, it can filter on path (eg. all posts from news.foo.net), newsgroups (eg. all posts cross-posted to alt.foo), nntp-posting-host, etc, etc. Nfilter does this by acting as a local news proxy. It takes commands from your news client and passes them on to your news server. It analyses the list of message headers returned by your news server and, based on the filter rules that you write, either drops the headers so that you don't see them or marks them with a flag to let you know they are filtered. COMMENTS: users report it is XP compatible.
