• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Mailfilter is a flexible utility for UNIX (-like) operating systems to get
rid of unwanted spam mails, before having to go through the trouble of 
downloading them into the local computer. It offers support for one or many
POP3 accounts and is especially useful for dialup connections via modem,
ISDN, etc. 
Mailfilter connects to any POP3 mail box and compares part of its content to
a set of user defined filter rules.That way the spam gets deleted directly
on the mail server. 
With Mailfilter you can define your own filters (rules) to determine which
e- mails should be delivered and which are considered waste. Rules are
Regular Expressions, so you can make use of familiar options from other
mail delivery programs such as e.g.procmail. 

It will help save you band width and time by deleting spam directly on your
server, before you have to download and read those messages. By defining
your own personal filter rules, you can tell Mailfilter which e-mails should
be deleted.

If you do not pick up your e-mail from a POP3 server, then there is no need
to install Mailfilter.
