It's difficult to evaluate Flystrike Spam Interrogator.
Flystrike Spam Interrogator's user interface is so successful at confusing and, somehow, frightening you that it's hard to tell what is spam or what you are expected to do when Flystrike shows you its long list of supposedly meaningful attributes and a multitude of buttons.
Still, Flystrike isn't that bad when it comes to detecting junk mail. It is not perfect either, though (I think). A nice touch is that Flystrike tries to identify the source IP of spam and makes it — relatively — easy to send complaints to ISPs or authorities.
Unfortunately, Flystrike works only with POP accounts, and you can't use it as a proxy but have to remember using Flystrike before you download new mail in your email program.
