Download SpamPal 1.55 beta

SpamPal is a freeware program with which unwanted e-mail, also known as spam, can be kept at bay. SpamPal acts as a proxy and sits between your POP3 or IMAP4 mailbox and email client. It uses, among other things, DNS blacklists and a Bayesian filter and add a tag to an email it suspects is spam. You will then have to create a filter in your e-mail program that places these suspicious e-mails in a separate folder or immediately throws it away. How that should be done is here to find. SpamPal has just released version 1.55 beta and it has the following changes:

1.55 24th May 2004

• Wasn’t filtering correctly on Return-Path: headers – fixed.
• Fixed bug in handling of email addresses containing high-bit characters that caused crashes when Windows is configured to certain Far East locales.
• Fixed possible bug in matching or wildcarded email address patterns
• POP3: Could merge first line of message body with message headers if TOP n 0 command didn’t include a blank line to terminate the headers; fixed.
• SMTP: Could crash during processing of SMTP EHLO if a network error occurred before the response was received; fixed.
• No longer crashes while expiring v.long pending entries from auto-whitelist records
• Worked around a bug in Windows 2000 (and others) that can cause spurious “No buffer space available (system resources low)” errors.
• Now retries if it encounters a spurious WSAEWOULDBLOCK, which should work around another bug in Winsock
• Keyboard shortcuts RETURN/ENTER and ESCAPE should now work in the “are you sure you want to exit SpamPal?” message [break]
