I'm glad you like it. I recommended it to this mailing list perhaps a month
or so ago and have been using it for a few months since I initially
discovered it. It really is a great, and completely FREE, program. It works
fast and is very efficient. I like that when I receive a spam message that
has numerous, or at least more than one, domain that I wish to check, as
many tracers as you wish can be run at the same time. It does not allow only
one research session to be run at once which makes a compound search
tedious.
Even if someone is not looking for this type of software, I believe it is
worthwhile to read the information on the guy's website as I believe he
seems serious in his efforts to combat spam and other negative aspects of
the internet. He offers the software for free as a way to give something
back to the 'net and to help keep it "decent".
