Features: Anti-spam Sniper for Outlook provides professional anti-spam and anti-phishing protection for your mailbox. The plug-in filters POP3, IMAP, Exchange accounts and deletes most of spam on the server by headers. The statistical algorithm used is trainable. It analyzes your private correspondence, singles out distinguishing features from messages of different classes and uses this information for the effective analysis of incoming messages. The algorithm constantly improves its classification quality with each new processed message. It is possible to track back the history of classifying messages and training the plug-in using a filtering log. The good messages deleted by mistake from server by header can be restored within a certain period of time after deletion.
The utility deletes messages right on the server, prior to download. A range of settings can be made through the interface, The combination of methods used is quite effective in blocking most kinds of spam including graphical spam. Besides the statistical filter, black and white lists of email addresses, anti-phishing filters, blocking by IP address (DNSBL services) and other black and white list based rules help detect spam. Graphical spam detection blocks messages with in-line images, linked to third party websites, messages with animated GIF in attachments, graphics and unlinked text etc. works out to be quite effective. The plug-in works with SniperSync. SniperSync is a TCP server, allowing Anti-spamSniper plug-ins to use the common white-list of email addresses and common database of message descriptors. The different copies of plug-in in local network can use this common database via two-way synchronization with the SniperSync server.
