This page lists some filters that can be used with Weasel. Most of the filters are "production" filters that you can install and use to do real work. Where source code is included, you can also use the filters as demonstrations of how to write your own filter.

The listing of a package on this page does not imply that it is automatically available to all registered users of Weasel. Most of it is freeware, but I might also list some shareware. The conditions of use of each package remain, as always, with the original supplier of the software.

BanURLs

A filter that rejects mail that contains an http:// reference to a URL that is in a "banned" list. A sample banned list is included, but you should probably build your own because the spammers keep moving. The filter also rejects the mail if there are any non-7-bit characters in the header lines - something that should never occur with legitimate mail.

CopyMail

A filter to take a copy of each incoming message and store it in an "archive" directory.

MultiFilter

A filter to call a sequence of other filters. You can use this if you have several filters you want to run.

phpFilter

I don't understand much about PHP myself, but I gather that this is a multipurpose filter that adds multidomain support, mailbox limits, and management via the web.

PMMFix

Alters some header lines of the mail, to compensate for cases that PMMail 1.96a does not handle properly.

Junk mail filter

A program that checks the header lines in incoming mail, and rejects mail according to rules that you can set up.

Virus scan

A description of how to create a Weasel filter that will invoke Norman antivirus to do virus checking on incoming mail. I gather that John has now developed a more sophisticated version, so I'll update this entry once I've found the details.
