ChoiceMail One - A SPAM BLOCKER - Not Just A Spam Filter

Of the whitelist spam filters, DigiPortal's ChoiceMail is the most well-known. Using nothing but whitelist and blacklist filters for incoming e-mail, ChoiceMail One 1.505 gives you complete control over what's blocked and what isn't. It's fairly easy to use and works with almost any sort of personal e-mail account. If you're an Outlook user, ChoiceMail runs a close second to Qurb, the new gold standard for whitelist products.If you use a Web-based e-mail account or read your POP3 e-mail from Outlook Express, Eudora, or one of the less popular clients, this is may be your best antispam option. If you're an Outlook user sold on whitelisting, choose Qurb.

Main Features

Here are just a few of the features that distinguish ChoiceMail One from the crowd.

Client based: Your email is downloaded to your own computer - it is not diverted to a third-party server. No need to change your email address. No monthly subscription fees.

Permission system: You can activate an option where senders need your permission before they can send you email. No need to rely on imperfect filtering systems that allow some junk and worse, block real messages.

Anonymous identity queries: The challenge-response process can be configured so that your own email address is not included. This prevents your email address from being validated by spammers and eliminates all bounce-back error messages from your POP3 accounts.

Automatic deletion of spam. We don't just put spam in a junk box for you to waste time cleaning out. Our junk box cleans itself.

Supports all POP3 services. All standard POP3 email accounts are supported, including those email accounts that require secure password authentication.

Keep your own email addresses. Unlike many other systems, there is no need for you to give up your known (and therefore valuable) email addresses.

Unlimited email addresses. ChoiceMail One blocks spam on all of your email addresses from multiple ISPs. Your license of ChoiceMail allows you to stop spam on all of your email accounts. No need to purchase separate software for AOL, Yahoo, or Outlook.

Supports AOL, MSN, HotMail and Yahoo web-based mail systems using a standard email client.

Works with ALL standard POP3 clients (Outlook Express, Eudora, Outlook, The Bad, PINE, Netscape Messenger, etc).

Detects and deletes spoofed messages that appear to come from your own email address - a favorite spammer trick.

Detects and deletes spoofed bounced system messages - another new nasty trick.

Safe preview: Preview incoming messages without any risk of information being returned to a sender or to a website.

Rules system: Create rules to modify the default behavior of ChoiceMail One for special messages. Full regular expression support is available for advanced users.

Away message: Our auto-responder lets ChoiceMail One tell your whitelisted friends (but not others) when you're not available and/or how to reach you.

Spam-O-Meter (TM): OK, we did this one for fun - it shows you how much spam is being blocked.

Customizable identity query messages: Configure your own identity query message to suit your personality or business need.

Compatible with mailing list systems: Unlike other systems that send challenges to everyone on a mailing list, ChoiceMail One recognizes that mailing lists are "special" and it does not send challenges back.

Junk box: ChoiceMail One temporarily saves all messages it deletes in a junk box, and can therefore tell you why deleted a particular message. Very useful if you're creating rules to change the default behavior of ChoiceMail One

How ChoiceMail works

ChoiceMail is the anti-spam program that puts you in complete control of your mailbox. It lets you treat your Inbox the same way you treat your front door. You decide who gets in and who doesn't. With ChoiceMail, you will never get another piece of unwanted email. Ever. Get the mail you want. Block the mail you don't want.

ChoiceMail is not a spam filter. It is a permission-based email management system that blocks 100% of unwanted email as you define it.

• ChoiceMail creates a "whitelist" of all the email addresses in your address book. Every time you send a message to someone new, ChoiceMail adds them to the list, so it is always up-to-date.
  
  
• It sends email from anyone on your whitelist straight to your inbox. It also lets you write rules to accept mail you may want, even from people not on your whitelist. (If elephants are your passion, simply tell ChoiceMail to accept any message containing the word "elephant" and it will.)
  
  
• ChoiceMail contains tools that let you send obvious spam straight to the junk box. Unlike spam filters, these tools are not the whole product ¨C just an enhancement to make your life easier. You can also write your own rules to block mail if you wish.
  
  
• ChoiceMail does not bother with things like deep header analysis, anti-spoofing, heuristics, or image decoding because it doesn't need to!
  

System Requirements

• Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP
  
• Works with POP3 accounts and AOL, MSN, Yahoo, Hotmail through our included gateway
  
• Any POP3 email client (MS Outlook, Outlook Express, GoldMine, Eudora, Netscape, Pegasys,...)
