Spam messages or bulk messages are the biggest problem of e-mail users. Spam messages increase faster in numbers as compared to the regular mails and dealing with this huge number of spam surely irritates every e-mail owner. In reality, getting rid of spam messages is a serious task which needs your e-mail account to be constantly updated.

Spam Butcher is an antispam program that filters incoming messages from your e-mail account, then segregating spam messages from those legitimate mails. The program uses advanced technology called fuzzy logic with 3 levels of aggressiveness for better detection of spam messages.

One of the interesting features in this program is its capability to filter your e-mail’s inbox to sort spam from legitimate mails. The program checks your inbox based on a time interval, say check your inbox every 5 minutes. If it finds any spam message, the program moves the spam into a buffer. So if you want to review spam or delete them, just click to that buffer where spam are transferred. Based on some tests conducted, the program detected a very high percentage on spam with no false detection.

Other features include a Blacklist or a Whitelist where you can add your contacts to avoid mails coming from them unintentionally marked as spam. Aside from the lists, you can set the program to send an email report of all filtered spam. The program also detects and blocks virus attachment in e-mails and allows you to customize filtering capabilities making the program more flexible and convenient to use.

The program works hand and hand with the POP3 protocol making it runs in parallel with any e-mail program. This is the reason why the program needs a POP3 account, which is also why the program doesn’t work in Hotmail and other webmail based email. There’s no need to install third party software or hardware upgrades as the program only needs minimum hardware resources.

Spam Butcher is antispam software capable of filtering and separating spam messages from legitimate e-mails. The program offers a wide variety of functionalities with minimal hardware/software requirements making it a good choice for spam filtering in e-mails. However, the program is not free, but a trial version is available for free download to assess product’s performance before purchasing. The price for the full version is $29.95, good for 1 user only.
