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.
How does it work
InboxCleaner protects your Inbox through three SPAM detection algorithms:
based on the sender Email address
A lot of SPAM is sent by always the same Email address, hence if InboxCleaner detects a message sent by one of these Email addresses it will delete the message. The Email address to search for may be entered as Name (IE "Shopper's voice") or as Email address (IE "shop@directmarketing.com"). You may also enter only part of an Email address (IE "@directmarketing.com") to stop all e-mails from this server.
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.
As quite often the subjects change their form, you may use the Subject filter for individual words only and combine them with an AND clause (the "&&" sign is used as AND in 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 Email 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.
