Popsneaker is a mailfilter for remote filtering of POP3 email accounts. It is useful for computers which have a dial-in connection to the internet. You can define rules to select emails, which you don't want to download to your local host. This is a simple and effective way to get rid of spam, advertisings and other kinds of unwanted mail. The filter rules are very flexible and powerful, but still easy to handle. The main ruletypes are using regular expressions to deny, to accept or to make an assumption on the mail.

Some advantages of popsneaker:

Popsneaker is a pure header filter. That means, the mail itself will never be downloaded to your local host. That saves online time and thereby money.

It is easy to maintain. You can control the behaviour of popsneaker with an easy to understand configuration file.

It is very flexible. You can apply filters on every mailheader. That way you can implement blacklists, whitelists, filters for HTML and many many more.
