How it works...
Filtering power that's easy to use.
SpamKiller can filter any number of e-mail accounts for you. It's designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, so most of the time you won't even remember that it's there.
When SpamKiller is running, an envelope icon is displayed in the system tray. This icon shows you what the program is doing, and if you have received any spam or ordinary e-mail.
For instance, when one or more spams have been detected, a flashing red cross is displayed on top of the envelope.
In addition, you can have the notification window pop up whenever you receive new mail. This shows detailed information about the new e-mail and how SpamKiller has processed it.

SpamKiller can automatically run programs and play sounds, depending on the type of messages you receive. For example, it can automatically start your e-mail program when new mail arrives.
Total control
Double-click on the icon, and the main window opens up. More than just a utility, SpamKiller lets you read, print, delete and forward messages.
A copy is kept of all e-mail that's automatically deleted, so you'll never lose a message unintentionally.
To make things even easier, SpamKiller includes a Friends list. Add your friends' e-mail addresses here, and you can be certain that their messages aren't mistaken for spam.
Filtering flexibility
SpamKiller's powerful filters let you filter on any part of a message, including:
  • The sender's address
  • The subject
  • The message text
  • Any message header
In addition, SpamKiller's unique country filters enable you to catch spam that's routed through other countries.
SpamKiller comes with a large number of preset filters. These aren't just a list of e-mail addresses, but are based on careful analysis of tens of thousands of spams.
See the wizard
If you're new to spam fighting, you'll love the New Filter Wizard, which lets you create new filters based on spam that you've received. Simply choose which part of the message that you want to filter on, and SpamKiller does the rest.

To make sure that SpamKiller remains an effective tool, Novasoft publishes new filter sets on a regular basis. The new filters can be downloaded and installed automatically on your computer.
Fighting back
If you want to fight back, SpamKiller makes it easy to send complaints. You can send automatic and manual complaints, write your own messages, and more.

SpamKiller automatically finds and suggests the relevant e-mail addresses in both headers and text, so complaining to spammers or system administrators (or anybody else) just takes a few mouse clicks.
