Software-update: MailWasher Pro 4.0

MailWasher Pro is een anti-spamprogramma dat wordt ontwikkeld door het bedrijf Firetrust. Ondersteuning voor POP3, IMAP, AOL en Hotmail/MSN e-mail diensten is aanwezig. Onlangs is versie 4.0 uitgebracht met het volgende changelog:

New Features:
  • 'Learning' system added. MailWasher Pro users now have the option to use Firetrust's Bayesian filtration system to smartly identify spam based on comparison with prior-marked spam emails.
  • New 'Learning' Spam Tool added (CTRL + T, then select 'Learning').
  • Filters / Blacklist backup system added. Backups are stored in the MailWasher Pro application data directory.
  • MailWasher Pro's preview window will now display some foreign character sets correctly. This is a work in progress and more character set support will be added in the near future.
  • Blue checkmarks have been added to blacklist and friends list columns to match the Learning column indicating emails already in those lists
  • Firetrust officially launches the FirstAlert! system to the public. FirstAlert! account numbers & passwords are now included as part of the registration key for version 4.0 users and above.
  • New help system added.
Important Changes And Fixes:
  • Windows XP standby crash has been fixed.
  • Incorrect summary numbers that were being displayed after message logs are cleared have been fixed
  • Removed duplicate sound event entries & changed the default sound to notify.wav
  • IMAP Sessions now escape " in passwords and enclose passwords in " marks.
  • POP3 should ignore POP servers that abort TOP listing during the headers if some of the headers were actually listed.
  • filters.txt now has comments at the top.
  • Double bubble icon problem & notification sound events should now be resolved.
  • Issue where mousing over the preview window would steal focus from other applications should be resolved.
  • Fixed string formatting issue on Blacklist Autodelete warning.
  • Changed Statistics file format and added functionality to import and use old format logs.
  • European format numbers that weren't sorting right in the size column should now display correctly.
  • Read only files in the application directory no longer prevent crash log directories from being pruned.
  • Autodeletes that occasionally failed when a delete was queued to a session that was quitting should be fixed.
  • Fixed interface issue with the Restore Email function where MailWasher Pro would display the wrong message for emails that were completely restored.
  • The Pie Graphs in the statistics form will now use the user defined filter colours when displaying filters.
  • Improved Hotmail Error handling.
  • Fixed caption error when user attempts to add duplicate filters.
  • If flagged to load on startup MailWasher Pro will now place a shortcut in the in the user's startup menu rather than in the registry.
  • SelectMailClient changed to take into account user settings as well as machine settings.
  • Quick Reply now works around bug in Pegasus Mail. Pegasus Mail users will be limited to a small number of quoted characters.
  • H237 bugs caused by autodelete in combination with Show Hidden emails fixed.
  • Fixed a bug where new mail notification would only occur for emails without visibility.

  • Statistics graphs now use uniform length numbers in legend. i.e. 9.38% is now 09.38%.
  • Exception errors in Friends List import form should have been fixed.
  • The accounts form is no longer shown the first time the user runs MailWasher Pro, as this can be selected from the setup wizard.
  • Logging now goes straight to disk and holds nothing constantly in memory in order to stop unnecessary memory bloat when debugging is on.
  • Fixed lockup when sorting on SpamCop / Reporting columns.
  • Extended logging is now switched off if previously enabled. Users experiencing problems with version 4.0 should enable extended logging once more.
  • Disabled the combining of SpamCop and FirstAlert! report column.

  • Fixed doubling up issue in logs.
  • Made statistics progress bar behave far more sensibly.
Miscellaneous:

Eindelijk een Bayesian filtration system zoals in K9. Daar heb ik lang op gewacht. Nu is mailwasher in mijn ogen weer aantrekkelijker dan K9 door de vele opties en de mogelijkheid om de mail direct op de server te filteren(k9 download het toch nog). Het gaat de goede kant weer op met mailwasher. Daar heb ik een poosje over getwijfeld na het commercieel gaan. Gelukkig voor de mensen die vroeger gedoneerd hebben -> upgraden blijft gewoon gratis :)
400k is snel zat hoor ;)

Die "bounce" option zit er nog steeds in, maar die lijkt mij waardeloos....
Voor de rest een uitstekend programmaatje.

De bounce optie is niet echt bruikbaar meer tegen spammers maar nog steeds erg handig om mailtjes te bouncen nadat je ze met de mailwasher preview hebt gelezen.

Iemand een idee, hoe de mails automatisch verwijderd kunnen worden zonder dat ik op het knopje process moet drukken?
Bij virus warnings, origin of spam en my blacklist kun je kiezen voor 'mark the email for deletion' + 'perform action: automatically (without notification)'
De pro versie gaat wel door dus.

Zit zelf met de freeware, werkt goed maar die foutmeldingen over de mailserver altijd
Bij mij krijg ik af en toe een foutmelding over een lege filterlist. Daar had ik met de vorige versie geen last van.

Op dit item kan niet meer gereageerd worden.
