It sifts email by the sender's name, the message header, the subject, the message text and the country of origin. It also flags mail that it's not sure about. For example, if you've copied yourself on a message, SpamKiller sends it to your inbox with a question mark attached because the From address equals the To address, a common tactic used by spammers.
Curiously, SpamKiller filtered test mail containing the words human growth hormone, but it let through messages that had the acronym HGH. Fortunately, it's easy to create your own filters, specifying the field you want to filter Message Text , as well as the conditions contains HGH and actions Kill. As spammers find new ways to get past filters, McAfee creates new filters, which you can download to SpamKiller by clicking the Update button.
SpamKiller gets it right most of the time. In our tests, SpamKiller identified and killed 20 messages; 3 were legitimate ones from mailing lists, but we quickly added them back to our inbox by clicking the Rescue button. It accepted 43 messages, 6 of which were pure spam -- including one with a virus attachment. A McAfee spokesperson says that the company plans to support these services in a future release, possibly before the end of the year. SpamKiller lets you enact revenge against lowly spammers by looking up the domain and email addresses of a sender's ISP, then sending complaints to the ISP's abuse department.
You can also set SpamKiller to automatically reply with an error message, fooling the spammer into thinking your address isn't valid.
