Animail
Animail is a multiserver POP3/APOP/IMAP4 (with or without SSL) mail retrieval utility. It features an advanced filtering system based on blacklisting, whitelisting, or a combination of both. It is possible to send an autoresponse which prompts people to reply and add themselves to the 'autoaccept' file. It also allows filters based on regular expressions which match against the email headers. (If a message is filtered, only the header is downloaded, not the entire body.) Combining external filtering programs (e.g. SpamAssassin or Bogofilter) as message post-download plugins is also easily acomplished, thus extending filtering capabilities in an unlimited way. Available delivery options include mailbox, maildir, local SMTP, and pipe to a command.

Recent releases
- 18 Nov 2004 11:13
Changes: When using kdialog to notify of new messages, this release won't notify when there are no new messages. Also, it won't try to reconnect to delete downloaded messages (after a network error) if no messages were downloaded.
- 01 Oct 2004 22:05
Changes: An option to activate a kdialog notification (if available) at the end of the download process was added. A new "MinimalPostFilterMatch" option was added for specifying how many postfilters must mark a message as spam for it to be filtered. The documentation and the sample configuration files were updated to add information about using SpamBayes as a postfilter.
