  Program: POPFile   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
POPFile does not delete any email on its own, however you can instruct your email program to act upon messages that are tagged as spam (or anything else) and have them be deleted or send to a different mail folder.
POPfile uses Naive Bayes classification, which is highly effective an learns from your instructions.
Overall, POPfile provides great flexibility and accurate filtering, however it does require at least some basic understanding of email and POP accounts in order to use it effectively.

 Security Pipeline | Yet Another POPfile Review
POPfile does a statistical analysis on those messages to determine patterns of word usage, and, after a short time, the software starts classifying incoming messages into the appropriate bucket, automatically sorting those messages based on their similarity to messages that are already in each bucket.
POPfile is an e-mail proxy, meaning (as Scot explains it): "It requires you to reconfigure your email program (there's a wizard that does this for you, and it works very well) to redirect mail through a generic local port so that POPFile can literally filter your mail before it gets to your email package.
That means that POPfile bypasses the normal statistical analysis for that bucket; POPfile simply looks for specific text in the sender, recipient, cc or subject headers and classifies messages based on the presence or absence of that text.

 Mercury/32 Daemon to Interface with PopFile
POPFile (http://popfile.sourceforge.net/) is a program that uses Bayesian techniques to classify email into one of several categories ("buckets") by examining the words that make up the message.
The standard implementation of POPFile is as a proxy, either between the Internet and the mail server or between the mail server and the mail readers.
POPFileD is a Mercury/32 Daemon that implements a third way to use POPFile, by having Mercury/32 call POPFile to examine mail.

 POPFile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
POPFile is a free, open source, cross-platform mail filter written in Perl by John Graham-Cumming.
This allows the filter too "learn" and classify mail according to the user preference.
If the user sees that mail has been placed into the wrong bucket he or she can use a HTML based interface to tell POPFile which bucket the mail should be in.

 Security Pipeline | Review: POPFile Squashes Spam
POPFile fails to provide a useful interface that will cut back on the amount of work people have to do to properly train it.
The one nod POPFile gives to working with your email in place is derived from the option to add a specific header to all your received email.
The trouble is that when you use POPFile to open a message and reclassify it, say from Normal to Spam, it doesn't rewrite the classification header on the message in your email program.

 Evanscorp - New POPFile Release 0.22.1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
POPFile version 0.22.1 has been released for general download.
For the average POPFile user, the extensions probably won't be all that useful but the bug fixes are worth having.
POPFile learns, with user feedback, to categorise e-mail based on content, and is a powerful weapon in the war against spam.

 Evanscorp - POPFile
Once POPFile has learnt to recognise selling language it can identify spam as soon as it arrives without requiring any manual intervention from anyone, least of all you.
We receive hundreds of spam e-mails each week, and POPfile accurately identifies around 99% of spam, which means we waste almost no time managing the e-mail we don't want to see.
POPFile comes with reasonably good instructions on how to install and configure it but we thought that it would be worthwhile providing the 10 minute setup routine to get you started.

 apcmag.com: Slam that spam   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
POPFile can eliminate spam at over 99% accuracy, as well as intelligently classify mail for different uses, such as pre-sorting mail from a single inbox for several different users.
POPFile is written in Perl, so it can run on any OS with a Perl interpreter.
POPFile classifies mail into user-defined “buckets.” After setting up at least two buckets, the user trains POPFile by showing it which mail belongs in what bucket.

 [No title]
But PopFile has marked the retrieved message as spam, if it believes that it is. Courier then can filter on these markings, and deposit the bad stuff into a folder so you can give them a quick look before deleting.
Others who have used PopFile with Courier for a longer time, tell me that after a week or so it gets to about 98.5%, with virtually no false positives.
Courier also works with PopFile to allow addresses in your Courier address book to be "whitelisted" so that they will not be treated as spam, ever.

 POPFile Review | codemonkeyx.net
POPFile acts as an e-mail proxy between your e-mail client and your pop mail server.
This means that you could install POPFile on a gateway computer between the Internet and your local network.
Because POPFile acts as a proxy it has to be running nearly all the time.

 POPFile - AndyPryke.com
POPFile is more than a Spam filter, it can help you sort mail in to multiple categories, such as "spam", "work", "personal", "hobby".
POPFile isn't an email program, though you can use it to preview mail if you wish.
POPFile's configuration is accessed through a webserver on your machine, and it also opens a port for your email program to connect to.

 POPFile 0.1.x on Mac OS X
POPFile makes use of the BSD Subsystem of Mac OS X and you will need to know how to type a few commands in Terminal.app.
If you would like to start POPFile at login (as opposed to system boot) so multiple users can have different buckets and settings, you might want to take a look at POPFile Startup.
This is because POPFile Startup must use the 'sudo' command to run POPFile as root.

POPFile was created by John Graham-Cumming and is maintained as open source by a team of developers and users that file bug reports, post patches, and suggest enhancements.
Popfile is the best classify type I have ever used.
Since once spamihilator downloads all the e-mail from the server it is removed from the server so popfile never sees it untill spamihilator passes it onto it.

 POPFile topten Utility (Enhanced Version) by Helphand   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The Top Ten utility is a tool for use with POPFile to list the top ten (or some other quantity you select) words in each bucket's corpus ranked high to low on the probability and the word count.
The topten program uses the POPFile API to gather all of the corpus data.
In order to ensure that running this program does not interfere with your running POPFile installation, we divert the version of those files created by this program to a safe place, the topten subdirectory, where they will be harmless.

 The Hindu : POPFile: An `organic' spam filter
Before transferring a mail from the server, the POPFile proxy server scans the content to determine the nature of the mail and classify it as spam or non-spam mail.
Before starting the program, you need to create folders or buckets (as it is called by POPFile) where the program can classify the messages after examining the contents of each of the mails.
Analysing the words contained in the incoming mail and examining them against the words contained in the various buckets, POPFile calculates the corresponding probabilities to determine whether the message belongs to the spam or normal bucket and classifies the mail accordingly.

 Untitled   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
POPFile is a filtering proxy which runs on your machine, instead of connecting to your email server directly your email client will connect to POPFile which will then pass on the requests to the server and filter the fetched email as it arrives, passing the email back to your client.
POPFile uses a technique originally designed by a mathematician called Bayes, hence the technique is known as Bayesian Filtering.
POPFile will add bucket names to the subject line of emails, so for example email that it's classified as work related (after you have trained it to recognise this) will appear in OE with the subject line [work] Original Subject Line.

 Print - POPFile   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
POPFile is a relatively lightweight application--on my system, it typically consumed only about 9MB of RAM.
POPFile uses a Bayesian algorithm for spam filtering, so you need to train the filter to make it really effective.
POPFile started doing a pretty good job classifying spam after just a couple hours of training, but for improved accuracy, I continued training for a week.

 Security Pipeline | Let's Fight Sp@m: POPfile Update, Spamnix 3.0 Reviews
POPFile's built-in mail viewer won't even display HTML mail, and there a lot of clicks and waiting involved to see and process a single message.
There's a multi-user version of POPFile due out in the next month or two that could help with one of my issues, the fact that POPFile is a proxy server running on a client machine, something I'd prefer to avoid.
As a result, the likelihood that I unthinkingly go for the POPFile tray icon while Eudora is in the midst of sending/receiving is higher for me. The Release Notes say that the bug may be video driver related, but the video card and drivers have been changed out during the POPFile test period.

 Installing POPFile on Mac OS X: BeatnikPad Journal
POPFile filters email into “buckets”, and learns what kind of email belongs in what bucket as you train it.
POPFile can add a header to the email with the bucket it thinks the email belongs in, or can also add a prefix to the subject line.
For new POPFile users: All you have to do now is to create a POPFile folder in the top-level Library folder of your hard drive (not the Library folder in your home directory - the global Library folder), and copy the contents of the popfile-0.20.0a Folder into it.

 Winning the War on spam: Comparison of Bayesian spam filters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
POPFile is actually a quite well made and polished product, and the lack of said feature is the only major complaint I have.
For example, if you work in a large company and receive mail from people in several different departments and want to sort your mail by department, it can be a lot of work to create static rules for this, and with hundreds of people in each department it may not even be practical.
Another feature which SpamBayes lacks is the POPFile magnets, which are simple rules used to create whitelists; usually used for not classifying mail from friends and family as spam (here integration with the mail client can be very useful as the address book can be used as the whitelist).

POPFile now reads its version number from a file called popfile_version which is stored in the POPFile subdirectory.
