There are several of those that are not spam tools, such as incredimail, and you are probably seeing them in spam because of forging.

Someone asked about MIME:Lite the other day, but I just saw a Half.com member ad sent using that mailer yesterday.

Some of the ones in your list might not exist at all as a real mailer, "high life mail" for instance seems suspicious.

I've seen some other header segments that are clear hits for particular spammers that I filter on, but I've yet to notice an X-Mailer that Declude is capable of filtering on unless you want to get into version or format forging, and those patterns are likely very short lived.

Hi, everyone:

I would like to hear from anybody who has experience with filtering by the
X-Mailer header. In going through my logs, the following look like they are
consistently used for spam.

x-mailer: the bat!
x-mailer: batmail
x-mailer: ximian
x-mailer: foxmail
x-mailer: high life mail
x-mailer: 3.1.76-xp/ng
x-mailer: mime-tools
x-mailer: quicksender
x-mailer: thor
x-mailer: incredimail
x-mailer: mpop
x-mailer: kmail
x-mailer: quickmail
x-mailer: direct mail
x-mailer: mutt
x-mailer: accucast
x-mailer: becky!
x-mailer: binderyfarce
x-mailer: squirrelmail

Has anyone seen any of these used for legitimate mail? Any suggestions as to
others you've seen on your system?
