Deleatur 3.2.3 (Spam Filter)

2005-11-03

Deutsche Version

Deleatur© is a program for recognition of spam mail merely based on the counted frequency of words (Bayes filter). The name comes from Latin and means "it is to be deleted". It is pronounced like the English construct "daylayartour" - with the stress on "ar".

Deleatur is (according to user opinions) the first spam filter program which really eases work for a user: While other spam filters load down spam mail completely and move spam to a special folder, Deleatur deletes spam directly on the POP server after having received only a part of it.

Deleatur should be used for looking for mail. Only if regular mail is left you start your own mail program. Deleatur runs in a command window. Ideally - even when 50 mails are to be processed - you only need to press the enter key a few times.

Deleatur can be trained using mail files if available. Also the word basis available with the program leads to good results.

Deleatur offers the opportunity to carry on the dialog in a language of your choice provided that you have modified a text file accordingly. Implemented at this time are German, English, Italian, and Portuguese.

The Windows files cannot be downloaded at the moment, because the old server no longer exists.

You can download the OS/2 files from Hobbes:

Deleatur 3.2.3 for OS/2 and eComStation (ZIP, 526 KB)
Word base for Deleatur (all versions) (ZIP, 615 KB)

The word base is identical for all versions of Deleatur and all operating systems (really!).

This program can freely be used by everyone.

Deleatur is available not only for Windows and OS/2 (eComStation resp.) but also for AIX. All versions share the same source code. Deleatur is written in the programming language PL/I: "buffer overflows" are therefore not to be expected. :-)
