Authors/Port authors:

Junk mail is a universal annoyance. It clogs our mail boxes with unsolicited, sometimes obnoxious messages that are a time waster if nothing else. No matter whether it's bulk rate pieces of paper or spam email, junk mail is junk.

Junk Spy is a valuable tool for detecting and filtering out junk email. Most email software products support the concept of filters which can be used to remove unwanted mail. Junk Spy does that and more, and has several advantages over the traditional email filter solution to junk mail.

Junk Spy's benefits include:

  • Ability to intercept junk email so that you never see it;
  • Options to delete messages, save them to a text file, or forward junk email to another address;
  • Integration with popular email programs;
  • A comprehensive detection system that is kept up-to-date; and,
  • Ease of use.

Compatibility OS/2 Compatibility: Junk Spy is designed for use with the following OS/2 versions: eComStation 1.1 "General Availability" release eComStation 1.0 "General Availability" release OS/2 Warp 4.5x "Convenience Pack" releases OS/2 Warp Server for e-Business "General Availability" release OS/2 Warp 4 "General Availability" release OS/2 Warp Server "General Availability" release OS/2 Warp Connect "Red Box" (for use with Windows) release "Blue Box" (with Win-OS2) release Most "FixPak" levels of the above have also been tested. Note: Warp 3 is ONLY supported when the networking portion of Warp Connect has been installed. Email Program Compatibility: Junk Spy works with most POP3 email programs and has been specifically tested with the following OS/2 email clients: Mozilla 1.2 and higher MR/2 ICE 1.6x - 2.0 Netscape 2.02 (Service Level 8), 4.04, 4.61 Polarbar Mailer Post Road Mailer 3.0 PMMail 1.95, 1.96, 2.0 and higher Installation Instructions First, unzip the download file into a temporary directory. Next, change to the directory where you unzipped the files and run the INSTALL program. Or if you prefer, open the folder or drive object that contains the unzipped Junk Spy files and double click on the INSTALL icon. When the installation program starts, it will ask you where to install Junk Spy. Once you've specified a directory, the installation program will begin to copy the files. When the installation is complete, you'll have a folder for Junk Spy on your OS/2 desktop. Open the folder and start Junk Spy by double clicking on the program object. Alternatively, if you open an OS/2 command window, you can change to the Junk Spy directory and run JUNKSPY from the command line. Your next step should be to follow the Getting Started Guide for your specific email program. It's located in the Junk Spy documentation folder and will take you step by step through the process of configuring your email program to communicate with Junk Spy. Following these directions will insure that Junk Spy can properly interact with both your email program and your mail server. Getting Junk Detection Updates (Not Available to Evaluation Users) One of Junk Spy's important features is the ability to automatically receive and process updates via email. This service is available only to licensed users of Junk Spy, and is initially based on contact information provided when the product was purchased. After purchase, you'll receive a password to use with your license number for access to the Junk Spy Detection Update Center at: http://www.JunkSpy.com/updatecenter.html We strongly suggest that you change the password right away to something that is meaningful to you. The Junk Spy Detection Update Center is the place to go if you need to change the email address that your Junk Spy updates are sent to. In addition, you'll see when updates have been sent and can have them resent to you, if necessary. Changes Of Interest to Upgraders Junk Spy 3.0 contains several new detectors. Not all of these new detectors are enabled by default since not all of them are appropriate for use by all customers. For more information on why you may or may not want to enable these detectors, visit: http://www.JunkSpy.com/detectors.html Several changes have been made in the default options for certain Junk Spy settings. If you install 3.0 over an earlier version, you may wish to consider the following changes: * By default, Junk Spy will now automatically accept detection updates without displaying a confirmation message window. If you are upgrading, this option is automatically enabled. If you prefer to receive a confirmation message before an update is processed, uncheck the new Automatically Accept Updates option in the Update Settings. * By default, Junk Spy will assume that messages larger than 300K in total size are not junk. This option, Bypass Detection For Messages Larger Than, has always been available in the Detector Settings but it has not enabled by default and your current settings for this option are not changed when you install 3.0 over an earlier version. If you are upgrading and have not previously turned on this option, you may wish to do so and set the bypass size to 300 kilobytes. * By default Junk Spy will now mark the subject line of junk messages. This option, Mark Subject Field, has always been available in the Detector Settings but it has not been enabled by default and your current settings for this option are not changed when you install 3.0 over an earlier version. If you are upgrading, you may or may not wish to turn this option on. * A new log, the Activity Log, has been added to record the decisions made by Junk Spy during the processing of each message. It not only includes the reason why a message may have been marked as junk (as the Detection Log has always done) but it also includes the reason why a message may not have been marked (such as matching a Global Exception or being bypassed due to the message size). This log is enabled by default and controlled using the Record In Activity Log option in the Detector Settings. (The traditional option which controlled recording in the Detection log has been renamed to clarify the difference between the two.) Limitations Listed below are some known limitations which may impact your use of the current version of Junk Spy. * Junk Spy works correctly with most OS/2 TCP/IP versions. An exception is TCP/IP 4.1 unless MPTS FixPak WR08620 is applied. This version of TCP/IP is relatively uncommon so this issue probably does not apply to your system. However, if you are unsure which version of TCP/IP is on your system, the Junk Spy About dialog will display the version information for you. * Use of Junk Spy's option to delete (rather than flag) incoming junk email should not be used with PMMail, Post Road Mailer or MR2/ICE (due to limitations in the way they communicate with mail servers). * A very few users have reported difficulty using Junk Spy in a DHCP environment. Junk Spy is compatible with DHCP clients, but may have difficulty with certain DHCP parameters. If you are experiencing problems with Junk Spy on a DHCP system please contact technical support. * Junk Spy cannot currently be used with POP3 servers which require Secure Password Authentication (such as those used by MSN). We hope to remove this limitation in a future version. * Junk Spy cannot currently be used with POP3 servers which require Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection. We hope to remove this limitation in a future version. The Legal Fine Print Copyright (c) 2001-2003 Sundial Systems Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

Junk Spy for OS/2 v. 2.0 prel.3 (19/3/2001) Readme/What's new
The following are some of the changes in version 2.0 PreRelease 3 Improved Security - In the past Junk Spy would accept a connection from any TCP/IP interface (Dial-up, LAN, loopback), determine if it was really a local connection and then immediately close it if it was not local. Now, Junk Spy has the option to only accept connections on the loop back interface, accept from both loopback and external, or to accept external and present a warning. The loopback only option is the safest, but may also complicate configuration. Exception Wizard - To help build exceptions, we have included a new Wizard. Our research indicates that a few exceptions can significantly reduce the number of falsely marked junk messages, but users rarely take the time to create an exception. To help, we have included the Exception Wizard to make it quick and easy to build an exception. Just paste a incorrectly marked junk message in to Junk Spy and the Exception Wizard will analyize the message and prompt you as needed to create the exception. Improved compatibility - Several changes have been made to improve Junk Spy's interaction with email and other programs. Marking via subject - Some programs do not allow filtering based on arbitrary header fields. For those programs, Junk Spy will include text in the subject field that can be used to filter on. Additional formats for userid/server - In addition to Junk Spy's username@servername sytanx, you can use username/servername with programs like Netscape which won't pass the @ character. Norton Antivirus - Symantec's Norton Antivirus has a feature to scan incoming email. Junk Spy will coexist with this feature. Windows support - Junk Spy now supports Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows Me, and Windows 2000. Expanded email compatibility list - Junk Spy is now compatible with Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, Netscape Communicator 4.7, Eudora (Lite, Sponsored, Pro), and PMMail/2000. Detection size threshold - For email programs with a short time out, you can specify a size threshold for which messages will be sent directly. If a message is larger than the threshold it will not be examined, and therefore can be sent immediately. Non-modal dialogs - You can now open multiple dialogs from Junk Spy. Detection Update - Includes a comprehensive update to the detection database that will preserve existing users' settings. Jump to Clue - When viewing the detection report, placing the cursor on a group of report entries and pressing the Clue button will take you directly to the clue definition. You can then edit the clue or create a local exception. Fixed problems in version 2 Update processing would consume all available CPU resources. If a message was processed twice by Junk Spy, strange things would happen.

Junk Spy for OS/2 v. 1.01 (16/6/2000) Readme/What's new
Junk Spy (tm) for OS/2 from Sundial Systems Release Notes (README.TXT) for Junk Spy Version 1.01 June 2000 Thank you for trying Junk Spy Version 1.0 for OS/2. This file contains information which supplements the on-line documentation as well as other key information to help you get started. What is Version 1.01? Version 1.01 is a maintenance release of the Junk Spy 1.0 series. In general, the features of this version are identical to earlier releases within the 1.0 series -- the primary differences are a small number of bug fixes and other corrections. The following feature has been added that is not described elsewhere in the documentation: Netscape Priority Boost: Because Netscape 4.61 sets the priority of its threads higher than normal, Junk Spy might be starved for CPU resources while retrieving mail on a heavily loaded system. Junk Spy now has an option to boost the priority of its POP3 connection threads to better balance its resource needs with those of Netscape. To enable this feature add the command line parameter /NETSCAPEBOOST to the Parameters section of your Junk Spy program object if you are using Netscape 4.61 as your email program and you notice slow response when retrieving your mail. This option gives Junk Spy more resources only while it is actually processing incoming mail and thus will not impact your system at other times. Compatibility OS/2, Presentation Manager, and Workplace Shell Compatibility: Junk Spy is designed specifically for use with OS/2 Version 3 or 4 and the Workplace Shell. This includes all of the following releases: OS/2 Warp Server for e-Business "General Availability" release OS/2 Warp 4 "General Availability" release OS/2 Warp Server "General Availability" release OS/2 Warp Connect "Red Box" (for use with Windows) release "Blue Box" (with Win-OS2) release Most "FixPak" levels of the above have also been tested. Note: Warp 3 is ONLY supported when the networking portion of Warp Connect has been installed. Email Program Compatibility: Junk Spy works with most POP3 email programs. Sundial Systems has specifically tested Junk Spy with the following OS/2 email clients: jStreet Mailer and Polarbar Mailer MR/2 ICE 1.6x (preliminary testing has also been done with 2.0) Netscape 2.02 Service Level 8, 4.04, 4.61 Post Road Mailer 3.0 PMMail 1.95, 1.96, 2.0x Installation Instructions First, if you downloaded Junk Spy or received it electronically, unzip the files into a temporary directory. Next, change to the directory where you unzipped the files, or to the diskette on which you received Junk Spy. From there, run INSTALL.EXE. Or if you prefer, open the folder or drive object that contains the unzipped Junk Spy files and double click on the INSTALL.EXE icon. When INSTALL.EXE starts, it will ask you where to install Junk Spy. (Note to Junk Spy Prerelease Users: Version 1.0 may be installed over PreRelease 3 and higher.) Once you've specified a directory, the installation program will begin to copy the files. When the installation is complete, you'll have a folder for Junk Spy on your OS/2 desktop. Open the folder and start Junk Spy by double clicking on the program object. Alternatively, if you open an OS/2 command window, you can change to the Junk Spy directory and run the JUNKSPY.EXE executable from the command line. Your next step should be to follow the Getting Started Guide for your specific email program. It's located in the Junk Spy documentation folder and will take you step by step through the process of configuring your email program to communicate with Junk Spy. Following these directions will insure that Junk Spy can properly interact with both your email program and your mail server. Getting Junk Detection Updates One of Junk Spy's important features is the ability to automatically receive and process updates via email. This service is available only to licensed users of Junk Spy, and is initially based on contact information provided when the product was purchased. After purchase, you'll receive a password to use with your license number for access to the Junk Spy Detection Update Center at: http://www.sundialsystems.com/junkspy/updatecenter.html We strongly suggest that you change the password right away to something that is meaningful to you. The Junk Spy Detection Update Center is the place to go if you need to change the email address that your Junk Spy updates are sent to. In addition, you'll see when updates have been sent and can have them resent to you, if necessary. Limitations Listed below are some known limitations which may impact your use of the current version of Junk Spy. * TCP/IP version 4.1 has several known problems. Before using Junk Spy please upgrade to TCP/IP 4.2 by installing MPTS FixPak 8620. You can download this update from ftp://ps.software.ibm.com/ps/products/mpts/fixes/english-us/wr08620/ NOTE: This update only applies to TCP/IP 4.1 and is not compatible with the TCPIP 4.0 included with Warp 4. Junk Spy will function correctly with these earlier versions. * Use of Junk Spy's option to delete (rather than flag) incoming junk email should not be used with PMMail, Post Road Mailer or MR2/ICE (due to limitations in way they communicate with mail servers). * A very few users have reported difficulty using Junk Spy in a DHCP environment. Junk Spy is compatible with DHCP clients, but may have difficulty with certain DHCP parameters. If you are experiencing problems with Junk Spy on a DHCP system please contact technical support.
