Kill The Spams is anti-spam software using a unique algorithm to detect unsolicited emails. You don't need to worry about building complex filters, nor do you need to maintain a list of spammers. Messages in your mailbox are checked and given scores – you can then set levels at which you are given the choice to delete or at which messages are automatically deleted.

In the case of mailing lists to which you subscribe, KTS lets you maintain a list of solicited messages – either by addresses, by domain or by subject. Some junk mail is not by definition spam, but you can also set up a list of unsolicited senders, with the 'No more from...' function.

Mac OS

NOTE: The Mac programs are mostly in archived 'HQX' (BinHex) files – they can be extracted with several applications, including Stuffit Expander (which is on the CD...). Clicking on the links below should set the process in motion. You may receive a message that the file cannot be loaded into Simple Text — if so, start Stuffit and then open the HQX file you want from within Stuffit.

Latest demo version

Note: this demo version will expire after 24 launches.

Mailsmith is an email client developed by the same people who brought you BBEdit, the HTML and text editor. Mailsmith offers powerful filtering, searching, editing and scripting capabilities. It features multithreaded processing, which allows Mailsmith simultaneously to transmit, receive and sort incoming and outgoing email – all while you are composing or reading messages.

This latest version includes many enhancements and fixes: the message search feature is extended; integrity checks are run on mailboxes at startup; plus loads more (see the Web site for details).
