Free spam filter.

Blue Squirrel maker of the anti-spam software Spare Sleuth, is issuing a free edition called Spurn Sleuth Lite, which helps eliminate e-mail spare, viruses, and phishing scams for a single e-mail account before they can reach an inbox. Using the Turing feature, Spurn Sleuth Lite sends a challenge e-mail message back to senders, and proves if the sender is a human or a mindless machine. Spurn Sleuth, on the other hand, is a powerful anti-spam points system that uses a highly structured approach for identifying and blocking spare attacks. When e-mail messages are sent Spare Sleuth analyzes them for spare, phishing scams, and virus characteristics. Messages deemed spam are not passed along to the e-mail inbox. A report is available for each message so that users know exactly why an e-mail is not or is deemed spare. E-mail users will receive and read messages the same way they always have, but without sorting through the junk e-mail to find the gems. New features of Spam Sleuth's Version 4.0, meanwhile, include enhanced anti-virus protection, an auto responder, updated blacklists, and additional junk e-mail blocking capabilities.
