If you mean my thing, nope. This is currently a first sweep system where you log in and it reads the headers of all the mail in your mailbox. It color codes each one and scores it to say how much it's spam (red is really spam). It allows you to do a 1 minute sweep over all your mail to delete any spam (it has delete functionality) so you don't have to download it. This is really for the end user. Those who want to stop the spam but also have some control over it in a way that they understand. No RegEx for them to view, just English rules that they'll be able to turn on and off (the rules are in, the ability to turn them on or off isn't yet). I wanted to put this out for free, but a friend convinced me to actually make some money out of it. :)
