A simple example plug-in designed to combat porn-spam. Messages containing any "bad" words are automatically tagged as spam; the list of "bad" words can be modified by the user. Very crude, and probably makes lots of mistakes.

A plugin currently undergoing development, which uses the new but increasingly popular tactic called Bayesian filtering to detect spam. In order to work effectively, this plugin must be trained to recognise what is and isn't spam in your mailbox - then it will learn from its mistakes. You can discuss this plugin, including any problems you encounter, in its forum.

The Bonded Sender™ plugin whitelists any email from an IronPort Systems™ Bonder Sender™. Any mail you've personally blacklisted isn't eligible and will still be treated as spam. This plugin could help prevent some of your subscriptions and newsletters from being mistaken for spam.

This plugin tries to mark as spam messages sent directly to your mailserver by a dyanmic IP address - most legitimate mail will use an intermediate mailserver to forward this mail to your server. Please read (and understand) the supplied Readme file, as this plugin can cause lots of mail to be mistaken for spam is misconfigured.

A simple plugin that is in many ways the reverse of "BadWords" - you give it a list of words and any email message that contains any of those words will be whitelisted (ie never mistaken for spam).

Removes potentially dangerous HTML code from your email, and can also detect some viruses; for full details see http://www.ib-hoebel.de/SpamPal/

This plugin creates a logfile summarising the messages SpamPal has processed; this logfile is slightly different from the one created by SpamPal itself, and may be preferred by some people.

This plugin check if the senders address is a valid address. This is done by testing if it is possible to send an email to the address. However no email will be sent. To use this plugin your ISP must allow you to use port 25(SMTP).

This plugin plays a sound when you receive new mail, and a different sound if you receive only spam.

Uses DCC to detect bulk email by seeing how many other people have received the same mail. (This does not involve sending your email to a third-party.) Because this detects all bulk mail and not just spam, it may be necessary to whitelist any mailing lists you have opted-into.

Every time you download a message SpamPal recognises as spam, this plugin saves it into a special folder; useful if you need to get at the original source of a spam in order to track down a spammer.

A plugin allowing you to filter or whitelist your email based on Perl Regular Expressions. For more information, including a manual in both English and German, see here.

A plugin to log mails received in a Microsoft Access (JET) database. Also available is a toolkit to generate pie and bar charts based on data logged.

A plugin that allows Ruby scripts to manage Spam (and some malformed attachment/Virus) detection. Contains several filters from date and Message-ID-check, detection of encoded or scrambled words, to dangerous attachments (also in ZIP files) and more. See the RubyExec manual for full details.

SPExec allows you to start up to 50 programs depending on the new mail. It is possible to pass several information about the new mail with the commandline.

Allows you to replace specific words or text in the subject-line of email messages with alternate text of your own choosing.

This plugin makes direct DNSBL queries to the fastest-changing backlists (the DNSBL queries normally made by SpamPal are cached to improve performance; you can change this from the 'Advanced' pane of the options dialog. The author suggests you use a longer caching time for most blacklists and have one or two which change quickly making uncached queries. Supports the SpamCop, Osirusoft, Easynet(Wirehub) and NJABL blacklists.

This plugin extends SpamPal to filter on not just where a message came from, but any websites it mentions as well! Useful because many DNSBLs list lots of spammers' websites. However, carries a greater risk of mistakes too.

Logs your incoming mail with lots of control for what gets logged. Defaults to logging each email account in its own folder and logging only spam. Defaults to saving a copy (quarantine) of the beginning of spam emails. Will log and quarantine emails which are deleted directly from the server. Can stop logging of whitelisted addresses. Puts spam and non-spam logs into different log files. Fixed column widths are easy to scan or import into spreadsheets.

Normally, SpamPal's whitelist and blacklist of email addresses apply only to the From:, Sender: and Reply-To: fields of email messages. This plugin allows you to apply the whitelist (and blacklist) to email address from any fields you choose.

An application that will automatically configure your email program to fetch mail through SpamPal. Works with Outlook (up to Outlook 2000), Outlook Express and SpamKiller. (This program is included in recent versions of the SpamPal download.)

All the files needed to set up spampal as a service in Windows. (Note: Beta-releases of SpamPal after v1/60 can run as a Windows service without the need for these files.)

A VB-script written by someone who was having problems with SpamPal when using Windows XP's fast user switching to switch between two users, both of whom need to use SpamPal. It checks whether SpamPal is running or not. If yes, then it is not started, if no, it's fired up. It makes use of Windows Scripting Host (only tested with 5.6) and a freeware program called pslist (get it here).
