Cactus Spam Filter is a spam blocker. It protects your inbox by learning to detect spam as
it's being used. After a short while it has adapted to your personal mailbox and blocks
out most of the junk e-mail. This spam stopper integrates seamlessly with all e-mail
clients that use POP3 such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, Netscape,
Opera, Mozilla, Eudora, IncrediMail, Pegasus Mail, Foxmail, and Phoenix Mail. After you
have downloaded and installed it no more settings are required. No account setup and no
POP proxies. Just start your favorite e-mail program and Cactus Spam Filter will instantly
protect it.

When the link to it was posted, I downloaded it to test it (since it
specifically mentioned FoxMail), and these are the results so far:

On the bright side:

* It does work with FoxMail, and in combination with AVG Free 7 (Beta)
* After about a week of training it it gets 97% of all spam
automatically, the other 3% it is still learning! (% is this morning's
score.)

On the dark side:

* There is a problem with FoxMail/Cactus and attached binaries, but the
author has been informed about that.
* Disadvantage with high levels of incoming spam: They still have to be
downloaded, the program doesn't have a "Delete from server" mode for
recognized (or confirmed) spam.

All in all:

A very promising program that already is helping me very much to wade
through the huge amount of spam that is sent to my domain (between ,500
and 2,500 a day!). The program is confirmed to be W2K/XP only!
