KnockKnock is the email management program that learns from you.
When you receive email, some of those email are wanted, but a greater portion are typically unwanted, or what many call Spam. If you find yourself getting more unsolicited email than you want, KnockKnock has the answer to your Spam filtering needs.
With Auto Spam Intelligence, you will actually find that you get less email the more Spam you receive. We've used a statistical method to evaluate your denied and approved databases to check on which email you want to receive and which email you don't. If you tend to deny all Porn sites, then Auto Spam Killer will evaluate your incoming email and eliminate those sites it determines to be Spam for your personal settings. If you normally accept Porn sites, then it will send the new senders to pending, allowing you to evaluate the email for validity.
Initially most email will arrive in your pending database as Auto Spam Killer has no data to use for determining what email you want and which ones you don't. Once you have started approving or denying email, then a statistical analysis of your databases can occur and a determination made on what you feel is Spam and which email you may want to view.
Stop changing your email address to avoid being inundated with "junk" email, stop avoiding websites that might ask for your email address fearing they will share it with others, and no longer avoid checking your email knowing it will take too long to sift through the "junk" mail to get to those messages you want or need.

| Why should you use MailGuard? Spam has become an overwhelming source of frustration and waste of time. With MailGuard you will be able to reduce your Spam woes in two different ways:
1. You can elect to bounce any email you deem undesirable. This will then cause the sender to believe that your email address doesn't exist.
2. You can delete the email before downloading it from your mail server thereby saving you time and ensuring you only download the email you actually want.
MailGuard employs three Spam Blacklist sites in order to check the validity of your email:
1. SpamCop
2. SORBS (Spam and Open Relay Blocking System)
3. SPEWS (Spam Prevention Early Warning System)
All mail is checked against these sites to determine whether the source of the email is likely to be a spammer. Should this be true then MailGuard will mark the email as coming from a suspect source. You will then be able to take the appropriate action.
MailGuard also allows you to delete very large emails without having to download them. It does this by giving you a preview of the email on your mail server. You can then decide what you would like to keep and what you would like to discard. You will also be less susceptible to emailed viruses as you will be able to delete any suspect emails without having to download them preventing them from ever reaching your computer.
