Download SpamPal 1.704 beta

A new beta version of the anti-spam program of the same name can be found on the SpamPal website with number 1,704. The program checks the email and will mark spam as such. This marking can then be used in a filter of the e-mail program to put this e-mail in a separate folder or immediately throw it away. SpamPal can handle both POP3 and IMAP4 accounts and uses DNS blacklists and a Bayesian filter to do its job, among other things. This release a start to the coming out soon SpamPal2† The changelog of this version shows the following changes:

Changes in 1.704 (Beta Release)

• Transparent proxy was returning wrong result from WSPIoctl(FIONREAD) for filtered sockets – this caused problems for Datula (and maybe other programs too). Fixed.
• Installer should no longer moan about being unable to create certain debugging shortcuts.
• Transparent proxy was occaisionally duplicating areas of messages filtered through SpamPal – this seemed only to happen for certain messages and certain anti-virus tools. Fixed.
• The “ignorelists of providers” were not always being honored – fixed.
• Slight modification to way SpamPal checks to see if a SpamPal service is already active.
• Fixed bug in way transparent proxy handles asynchronous select operations when accepting new connections.
