Camel s Eye

Camel's Eye is a free and useful client-independent cross-platform POP3 email filter that was written in Java Camel's Eye is a free and useful client-independent cross-platform POP3 email filter that was written in Java. It is suitable for both spam detection and general mail filtering.

Compared to most clients' built-in filtering systems, Camel's Eye has several advantages:

1) Its rules are more flexible and powerful. They support regular expressions, scoring, multiple logical operators, variables, and more. Arbitrary message headers can be added, modified, or removed.

2) Messages can be analyzed without downloading them completely. Various kinds of unwanted messages (e.g. bloated attachments) can thus be identified and deleted (or skipped). This process is effective especially on slow connections and can save you megabytes of junk downloads.

3) Automatic whitelisting. Camel's Eye also acts as a proxy for outgoing messages. This allows automatic creation and maintenance of several whitelists (address, subject, ...) to reduce the risk of false alarms when filtering spam.

4) Rules can be shared with other users. You can use "remote" rule sets created and maintained by somebody else, or publish your own rules. Camel's Eye automatically performs all required synchronization operations, even with dial-up connections.
