E-mail Address Validation and Actual Contacts For Outlook Software for Windows

MailList Validator
$0 - Business Software Products

MailList Validator is designed to validate e-mail addresses and see whether or not certain addresses exist. The program's main objective is finding invalid e-mail addresses. This will save a great deal of your time when doing mailings and minimize the number of bounced messages from non-existing addresses. Mail List Validator uses Rules for determining bad e-mail addresses. This allows you to achieve very high accuracy of validation. The program is capable of finding all invalid addresses in a list, and is virtually free of false trigger instances (where a valid address might be marked as invalid.)

Contacts Verifier
$24 - MAPILab Ltd.

Contacts Verifier is the first add-in for Microsoft Outlook 2000, 2002/XP and 2003; designed to monitor the validity of e-mail addresses in your contacts. It is able to check your address-book throughout in a matter of minutes notifying you of contacts that contain e-mail addresses which are no longer valid. Contacts Verifier is also operable in mail merge mode with Microsoft Outlook 2002 and Microsoft Word 2002, as well as with the newer version 2003. It checks e-mail addresses from an address source used for mass mailing and excludes invalid addresses. When checking an address, CV imitates the sending of the message to the address being checked, and after receiving the answer from the server (to which the address belongs) as to whether the address exists or not, it terminates message sending and ends the session correctly. So, the checking of an address is technically correct and cannot be noticed by the address owner. Contacts Verifer supports Socks5 protocol and NAT to work in LAN, fast multithread verifying, and has a comfortabe user interface. Information is becoming more and more valuable in our rapidly changing world, and we hope you will find our software product useful and easy to deal with.

Spam Sleuth Lite
$0 - Blue Squirrel

Spam Sleuth Lite monitors your e- mail box behind the scenes and analyzes e- mail messages for spam and virus characteristics. If Spam Sleuth Lite determines an e- mail is spam, it yanks it out of the e-mail server, compresses it so that it takes as little space as possible on your computer. When your e-mail program gets your e- mail, the spam has already been removed and you can read your e- mail the same way you always have, but without sorting through the junk e-mail to find the gems.

Friends - Add your friends e-mail addresses to allow messages through to your inbox. You can import addresses from your e-mail program, and you can use wild cards to quickly add domains. For example, if you want to receive all e-mail coming from Blue Squirrel you would enter *@bluesquirrel.com.

Turing Test: Sends an email back to the sender and requires them to enter a validation code in order for Spam Sleuth to allow email messages through to your inbox. (Great way to know if you're dealing with a mindless machine or a real human on the other end.)
