| Bounce back unwanted e-mails so it looks as if your
email address is not valid. This will make the sender think your address
is no longer active so your name can be removed from their list. This
unique feature is great for privacy and it couldn’t be simpler!
Delete unwanted e-mails before you download them. You’ll be able
to see who the email is from, the subject, and the attachment. This will
enable you to decide if you want to delete the email or keep it. A great
way to stop viruses or large attachments.
Status. MailWasher analyses each email as it arrives and warns
you if it is suspected junk mail or a virus by heuristic checking and
filtering. The standard status categories are - Normal, Virus, Possibly
virus, Possibly spam, Probably spam, Chain letter, Blacklisted,
Blacklisted by (ORDB, Spam Cop etc).
Blacklist. Any e-mails you bounce back get their senders details
put on the blacklist for easy removal if they come back. You can even set
it to automatically bounce and delete blacklisted e-mails, or whole
domains off the server. Plus, MailWasher can use external blacklists such
as ORDB, Spam Cop, VISI or you can specify your own.
Friends List. Add your friends email addresses to MailWasher and
they will always be recognised. You can even hide your friends from the
screen so the spam is easy to recognise.
Preview. You can preview the message in your email to see what
the sender has to say before downloading it. Just double click on the
message.
Filtering. Effective filtering to automatically spot spam, plus
it uses a customisable list of blacklisted e-mail senders and/or regular
expressions to filter out potential spammer addresses and messages.
