is one of the most exact and reliable approaches of differentiating spam and
not spam messages nowadays. The algorithm applies to the results of statistical

names, email addresses, entire domains and wildcards. When you run SpamAid for
the first time, all contacts from your Address Book are automatically added
to your Friends List. Further you can manually edit your Friends/Enemies Lists
any time you wish, and also add contacts from the selected emails to these lists.
Testing outgoing mail for risk of being filtered as spam

spam filters. SpamAid will review your message and return a grade along with
the reasoning behind it.
Auto-learning Engine

correspondence. The more a user works with the program, the better is the accuracy
of spam definition.
Customizable Spam and Non-Spam Recognition
