Get Viagra Pills and Free Diplomas By Mail -- Or Just Find Peace Of Mind
When it comes to spam, an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure—unless, of course, you
regularly correspond with ousted Nigerian warlords.
If
you love spam and hate free Macintosh software, move along to another
article.
But if you use Apple Mail as your email client and wish that it could better distinguish Viagra advertisements from bank statements, then Benjamin Han has an offer you can't refuse.
Han, a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University, is the author of
JunkMatcher Central, a Mac OS X Panther-compatible application combined with a
set of free filters that work with Mail's rules and third party email blacklists
(such as Spamcop.net) to move
spam to your junk or trash folders.
His website describes his other interests as "semantic grammar induction, NLP-based information retrieval, and model-based diagnosis of combinatorial digital circuits with propositional logic and genetic algorithms."
I know nothing about Han's propositional logic skills—or, for that matter, what the heck propositional logic is—but I know that JunkMatcher really works. Installed for the last few months on my PowerBook, it has caught unsolicited commercial email to my .Mac account almost as well as Matterform Media's $24.95 to $39.95 SpamFire, a capable, dedicated anti-spam product that I use on my desktop system.
And have I mentioned often enough that JunkMatcher is free?
At least for now.
