Version: Spamihilator 0.9.9.10
"Best of breed for this kind of anti-spam program"
Pros: It's very configurable, many plug-ins are available, the Bayesian filter is superb and learns fast, it's easy to review and manage spam/nonspam, and it's easy to add words to filter, entries to white/black lists, and you can arrange the order of the filters, etc. It also works with SSL secure mail transfer, and you can cross-protocol IMAP to POP and use a simple client to check IMAP mail. The forums are in both German and English, and are quite active, with the developers monitoring them regularly. All this in a free program! After you've used it awhile and set it to suit your habits, it becomes nearly invisible and you only need to check the spam area occasionally to be sure a friend didn't end up there. Though some would say if he did, he should probably stay there because of what he sent you.
Cons: It's capabilities also bring complexity. It may require a work to set it up for some systems if the auto-configuration utility doesn't work for your system. (There is plenty of documentation for this, however.) Also, it's not integrated into your email client, but runs in the background as a separate program, intercepting incoming mail. This makes it compatible with most clients, but again, not really part of your client.
