Hello, everyone.
I found a "simple program" that will help "fight back spam," and that I thought might be useful as a supplement to The Bat! and the BayesIt! plug-in.
The description and URL of this SourceForge.Net project are as follows:
ABUSE: http://spam-abuse.sourceforge.net/
Introduction
Abuse is a simple program which will help you fight back spam. It will "read" any e-mail header, go on-line and check NICs, open relay DBs and black- listed IP ranges to discover the address of the abuse-desk you should write to.
Further it will tell you if the sender's IP address is an open relay or is blacklisted as a spam source.
Simply right-click on a desired e-mail and Abuse will automatically extract headers and either print the relevant abuse-desks or directly e-mail them a letter of complaint (LART).
Abuse is still in a beta phase and some of the features we had planned have not yet been implemented (full caching system, integration with main e-mail clients, a more intuitive interface...); please bear with us while we work on improving the code....
I hope that this information is of interest to the members of TBUDL. In addition, I would appreciate suggestions of similar or more mature software.
Thank you very much! HTH!
Cordially,
David -- http://ddickerson.igc.org/
