This is the documentation of popsneaker, a mailfilter for remote filtering of email accounts. It is most useful for computers which have a dial-up 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.
This is the 0.6 release of popsneaker. It contains some redesigns in the networking code to make popsneaker more modular. While prior versions support only the POP3 protocol, it should become possible now to connect to servers using many different methods. The following mail-retrieval protocols are currently supported: POP3 (incl. APOP).
Version 0.5 was the first implementation in C++ and exceeds the previous versions in performance and efficience.
0.4 and earlier versions were implemented as Tcl scripts. At this time, there is no reason to use those versions anymore.
