What Spamihilator is

Spamihilator is a Windows program that filters incoming unsolicited email between the Internet and an email client. Its Learning Filter uses Bayesian filtering, and the site says it recognizes more than 98% of spam mails. Built-in Spam Word, Link, DCC, and Rule filters are joined by options for custom words and regular expressions. The program works with email clients that support POP3 or IMAP, including Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird, and automatically uses SSL/TLS when the email server supports secure connections. Recognized spam is held in a Recycle Bin, where users can restore messages and train the filter with spam and non-spam mail. An optional setting deletes messages from blocked senders on the mail server without downloading them. Plugins can add spam recognition or features, including a DNS blacklist filter and a plugin that reads SpamAssassin headers. The download page lists version 1.7, dated June 5, 2022, in 32-bit and 64-bit versions, including portable builds; not all plugins work with 64-bit. English and German are included, with a language pack adding over 30 more languages. Online documentation and a support area are available, but support is not offered by email or telephone.
