Bayesian

Plugin logs all mail received to an ODBC compliant database and includes
a tool for generating 3D Pie and Bar charts.
This tool is compatible with logs generated with the LogFile and Quarantine
plugins so you can import these logs directly into the Reporting Toolkit
and generate pie and bar charts immediately. |

RubyExec
|
Filter
|
A plugin that allows Ruby scripts to manage Spam (and some malformed attachment/Virus) detection. Contains several filters from date and Message-ID-check, detection of encoded or scrambled words, to dangerous attachments (also in ZIP files) and more. | ||
|
Peer
to Peer (P2P)
|
Filter
|
Uses DCC to detect bulk email by seeing how many other people have received the same mail. (This does not involve sending your email to a third-party.) Because this detects all bulk mail and not just spam, it may be necessary to whitelist any mailing lists you have opted-into. | ||

UserLog

|
Statistics
|
This plugin creates
a logfile summarising the messages SpamPal has processed with different
logs for each mail server and account - latest version here NOTE: do not enable OSIRU in this plugin, as this DNSBL closed down a long time ago. |
|
|
URL-Body
|
Filter
|
This plugin extends SpamPal to filter on not just where a message came from, but any websites it mentions as well! Useful because many DNSBLs list lots of spammers' websites. However, carries a greater risk of mistakes too | ||
|
Logfile
|
Statistics
|
This plugin creates
a logfile summarising the messages SpamPal has processed. Note: v1.7 uses a new logfile format, needed for the spampallogfile viewer (in the extras section) |
||
|
Quarantine
|
General
|
Every time you download a message SpamPal recognises as spam, this plugin saves it into a special folder; useful if you need to get at the original source of a spam in order to track down a spammer. | ||
|
GoodWords
|

|
Filter
|
The Good Words plugin whitelists any email containing any of a list of good words you supply. Use product names, pet names and such to protect your legitimate email from being marked as spam. It doesn't attempt to decode encoded email, which is mostly spam anyway. For more sophisticated filtering of this sort, use the Regex plugin instead. latest version here | |
|
Notify
|
General
|
a simple plugin that plays different sounds for Spam and regular mail | ||
|
Bad Words
|
Filter
|
A simple example plug-in designed to combat porn-spam. Messages containing any "bad" words are automatically tagged as spam; the list of "bad" words can be modified by the user. Very crude, and probably makes lots of mistakes. Note: It won't work for phrases that are split over multiple lines, or encoded with HTML, and it doesn't understand MIME-encoding at all | ||
|
MXBlocking
|
James_Day
|
Filter
|
Blocks mail sent directly from dialup/dynamic addresses to receiving mail servers. This is a fairly common form of abuse by spammers and is usually caught by blacklists. This catches it when it gets to you before the blacklists can react, catching about an extra 0.5% of spam. Uses the NJABL, PanAm, dun.ru and SpamPal doesn't use the dialup-equivalent results when it does its own checking of these blacklists. | |
|
UnCached
DNSBL
|
James_Day
|
Filter
|
This plugin makes uncached queries to the fastest changing blacklists. Use a longer caching time for most blacklists and have one or two which change quickly making uncached queries. Supports the SpamCop and NJABL blacklists. | |
|
BondedSender
|
James_Day
|
Filter
|
The Bonded Sender™ plugin whitelists any email from an IronPort Systems™ Bonder Sender™. Any mail you've personally blacklisted isn't eligible and will still be treated as spam. This plugin could help prevent some of your subscriptions and newsletters from being mistaken for spam. |
