Mailfilter README
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Mailfilter is a flexible utility for UNIX (-like) operating systems to get rid
of unwanted spam mails, before having to go through the trouble of downloading
them into the local computer. It offers support for one or many POP3 accounts
and is especially useful for dialup connections via modem, ISDN, etc. 

Mailfilter connects to any POP3 mail box and compares part of its content to a
set of user defined filter rules. That way the spam gets deleted directly on
the mail server. 

With Mailfilter you can define your own filters (rules) to determine which
e-mails should be delivered and which are considered waste. Rules are regular
expressions, so you can make use of familiar options from other mail delivery
programs such as e.g. procmail. 

Mailfilter is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. For
more information, see the COPYING file provided with the Mailfilter program.
