Software Update: K9 1.08

A new version of the free anti-spam program K9 has appeared on the internet: version 1.08. Unfortunately, this program only works with POP3 accounts. Hotmail and webmail users are therefore left out. After installation, the program nests in your system tray. From here, the program filters all incoming mail for possible spam messages. During use, the program learns from the commands given by the user, in order to better recognize what spam is. In the release notes we find the following changes:

– Added option to allow spam emails retrieved with a fake “TOP” to be added to the word database.
– Added option to allow spam emails retrieved with a fake “TOP” to be added to the Recent Emails window.
– Added option to prevent whitelisted emails from being added to the database.
– Added extra “hours” field for Configuration page Cleanup section.
– Added ability to add subject and recipient to the whitelist/blacklist from the right-click context menu.
– Improved handling of malformed date headers.
– Date and time formats should now properly adhere to Control Panel regional settings.
– Corrected placement of “(No subject)” and spam percentage as per configuration settings when no subject line is present.
– Possible fix for problems with large emails when using the “Don’t filter messages larger than” option.
– Email reader window can now be dismissed from all sub-windows by hitting the Escape key.[break]This program is available in two flavors:
