InboxCleaner is a small
utility that connects to your POP mailbox and verifies your mail messages. Mail
messages that are identified as SPAM are deleted before you download them with
your normal mail application. This prevents you from downloading SPAM and
clogging up your mailbox. But not only SPAM will be stopped, but also harmful
Viruses and Worms will be identified and deleted before you download them.
InboxCleaner protects your
Inbox through three SPAM detection algorithms:
… based on the
sender e-mail address
A lot of SPAM is sent by always the same e-mail address, hence if InboxCleaner
detects a message sent by one of these e-mail addresses it will delete the
message.
… based on the
subject
There are certain keywords that are used by SPAMers to
attract your attention. (IE Easy Mortgage - Any Credit Accepted). Those messages
are deleted by InboxCleaner.
For example the Subject filter "Easy Mortgage
&& Credit"
will find all subjects that contain the phrase "Easy Mortgage"
and the word "Credit".
So it will detect the subjects
Easy Mortgage - Any Credit Accepted
Easy Mortgage for you, any Credit Accepted
etc
… based on the
content
Most of SPAM can also be identified through its message content. Phrases like
“You were sent this email because you used our Opt-in service.” are
indications that this e-mail was sent to you unsolicited, hence InboxCleaner
will delete them. The content based algorithm will download the first 100 lines
of a message , in order to verify its content.
All three detection algorithm work with databases of
well known strings. Those databases are updated regularly at MAW, so whenever
you choose the update menu option the latest version will be installed,
protecting you against le latest SPAM messages.
You have also the possibility to download the latest databases through the
"Download" button on the settings menu.
After
start-up InboxCleaner will display a mailbox icon or
on the task bar. By
moving over it it will indicate how many mails are currently in your mail box
(The yellow envelop indicates that there are new mails).
By clicking on the icon you can select between the following options:
Uses the windows Notepad.exe to open the file InboxCleaner.log that is stored in the application directory.
 |
| Mail Settings | Enter here the details about your POP accounts. You
can define up to 5 mail accounts to be cleaned. If
unsure, please contact your e-mail provider for more information. As POP port enter "pop3" for the default settings. |
|
| Scanning | InboxCleaner can either scan your inbox at
predefined intervals (requires a permanent internet connection) or can
detect when your mail reader starts. The "scan on start of mail reader" option will detect when you launch your mail reader and immediately scan the inbox. Like this the mailbox is cleaned every time before you download your new messages. |
|
| Filtering | Choose here the filters you want to use. (See description above) | |
|
Add e-mail |
Adds the e-mail address of the sender as e-mail filter. Like this then next time the messages is deleted already through the e-mail filter. | |
|
unsubscribe |
InboxCleaner will search the first 100 lines of the message for a link to unsubscribe. If found the link will be followed and your e-mail address should be deleted (Should....). The link needs to include your e-mail address for InboxCleaner to detect it. | |
| Download | This will download the latest databases from the MAW server and integrate the new
strings into your database. Your own strings will not be overwritten. At the same time it will upload your databases to the MAW server. MAW will periodically combine all uploaded databases and make them available for download. Only your databases will be uploaded and not any of your personal information. |
