No Spam
Today! is an SMTP proxy server based spam filter that sits between the
internet and your mail server. It accepts the incoming mail, filters
it and passes it on to your mail server. This is done completely
transparent, and all settings, rules and configuration of your mail
server remain unchanged. No Spam Today! uses the SpamAssasin (open
source) engine to identify spam, flags it in the subject line and adds
a spam report to the suspected spam message. As an additional measure
the original message is attached to the mail, preventing accidental
opening of spam that could contain tracking bugs or malicious code. It
can optionally send a spam notification to the sender, informing him
that the message was filtered and may not be read. The Freeware
Edition may be used free for personal and non-commercial use. It is
limited to scanning mail for up to 10 email addresses and a short note
is added to all scanned (incoming) mails. Very easy installation with

The year is 2505. The ozone layer has been seriously weakened by
CFC gases in the atmosphere. Dangerous rays from the sun are already
beginning to reach the Earth, turning many people into mutant apes
(ed. note: That's funny - the future's a lot like now, it would
seem!). To contain the situation, a crack team of scientists have put
together a device known as the 'EcoBall.'
The EcoBall is a remote controlled ball capable of collecting and
eliminating the dangerous gases from of the air. As its pilot, the
Earth's future lies in your shaky hands. Controlling it will be no
easy task; the ball is equipped only with vertical thrusters. Watch
out for the storm clouds - one shock and your plans will be
ruined!
Good luck, pilot!
Features Fun, addictive arcade action! Online high-scores: compare
your scores and times with others! Colorful graphics and explosive
sound. Joypad or keyboard controlled. 'Rumble' used if supported by

Feeding Frenzy (Games)
http://windows.fileoftheday.com/archives/games_feeding_frenzy.html
Everyone's seen or experienced an aquarium screensaver, but imagine
if that aquarium screensaver were actually an interactive arcade game.
You're an individual fish that has to eat smaller fish to survive
while avoiding bigger fish that want to eat you. That's what Feeding
Frenzy is all about. We were skeptical about this particular game, but
minutes after installing it, we were hooked!
Feeding Frenzy plays like this - you move your fish around the
screen using your mouse. You start out as a small fry, but will
quickly grow in size as you eat more and more fish. Make sure to look
at your Food Chain Meter to figure out what's OK for you to eat! If
you try to eat a fish that's bigger than you are, you get eaten
yourself. Do this too many times and it's game over. As you advance
through the game, new options and powers become available to you,
including bonus levels that challenge you to eat as many fish for a
specific time interval as possible. As you advance to new levels,
you'll become a bigger fish with additional properties. The in-game
help screens also provide you with hints on what certain predators and
objects can do to impede your progress on gorging!
A second mode of play is based on a timer. You are allotted a
certain interval when you first start. If you complete a specific
level under the timer, your seconds are added to your next round.
Since there are 40 ever-more-difficult levels, it's as challenging
as Ricochet and you'll actually develop very good hand / mouse
coordination. A nice bonus is that after continuous play, you build
enough points that award you with an actual Windows XP marine aquarium
screensaver being installed on your PC. Rating a game in graphics,
animation, creativity, and addictiveness, we give Feeding Frenzy a 4.7
out of 5.0.

http://windows.fileoftheday.com/archives/screen_savers_3d_runaway_sleigh.html
The frantic elf falls, loses his hat, and struggles to control
Santa's runaway sleigh during a fierce snowstorm. Clearly, no Legolas
is he! Watch him maneuver the sleigh gone wild through treacherous
mountain twists and turns as the merciless blizzard threatens to
engulf the poor elf. This screensaver contains video and quaint, elfy
music (but not Elfman music) in MP3 format.
Select from falling toys like teddy bears, toy drums, rag dolls,
toy soldiers, none, or all. Select from preset tints or times of day
to give a morning, evening, or night effect, or go wild and make
everything purple. (Pretend like you're watching Jupiter Santa's
little minion doing his work or something. Well, why not?) With the
demo version, you can also play one MP3 music file of your own (so
maybe there could be Elfman music, after all). The demo expires in
seven days (the night before Christmas, as of this File of the Day
posting), while the registered version, of course, never expires,
allows you to play up to ten MP3 music files of your own, and doesn't
have the registration reminder overlay text. Why enjoy the elf and his
trials and trib-u-sleigh-tions for merely one holiday season when you
could enjoy them for many more to come?
The demo contains almost the full set of features: sound mute,
volume control, background tint, brightness, selectable number, color,
size, fade, and velocity of falling animations. Have fun customizing
this screensaver to your preferences. Provides password protection.
Also available as a FREE 3D still or animated eCard.
