Guide Review - Spamnix 3.0 - Eudora Spam Filter
Spamnix automatically moves all the spam it detects to a special folder. Depending on the spaminess of a message, you can also have Spamnix delete the mail altogether.
If you encounter a persistent false positive (or negative), it's easy to train Spamnix to recognize the spam and the good mail you receive even better. You can also add a short rule to Spamnix that will correct the error in the future.
"Manual" Spamnix filters can also look for certain types of attachments. Still, the spam detection rate of Spamnix is great. It is just a pity that Spamnix only works with incoming mail from POP or IMAP accounts.
You cannot filter existing mail with Spamnix.
