SpamKiller was designed as a small (14k), cross platform (tested on gentoo linux and windows xp)
solution to combat virus spam, without having to actually download the email from your pop server
(to my way of thinking, downloading and then filtering the spam sort of defeats the purpose of a
filter, and also wastes bandwidth on large attachments). Spamkiller will filter on Subject and
Received From headers, and delete the mail directly from your POP3 server. It supports logging, and
also supports the saving of n number of lines of the deleted mail to local text file as a safeguard
(This again without downloading the whole mail from the server).
It is basically a standalone python script and unlike other solutions does not need to be
'installed' on your system.
It is a work in progress, but I have decided to release this alpha version into the public domain, I
hope it may be of use to someone, if enough interest is generatated I may produce a gui for it. It
can be run interactivly or as cron.
Requires Python 2.3.
