Sporkie Description

A free Java based challenge/response spam e-mail filter Sporkie uses CAPTCHA's (randomly generated distorted images of numbers) in order to verify a person that is sending e-mail is real flesh and blood. Sporkie will work in the same manner as ASK and similar response/challenge filters, except that Sporkie it will use CAPTCHA for the same task.The main advantage to using CAPTCHA's is that it prevents automated spam bots that use real e-mail addresses to get removed before you see them. With ASK and other challenge/response filters these bots get through the system. But with Sporkie you can rest easy knowing every e-mail you get came from a real person, and there isnt even a spam folder to worry about. No more miss filed spam as I'm sure we are all familiar with.This software works by sending a verifcation e-mail with a link back to anyone who sends you an e-mail. The user must then follow the link and enter the numbers they see in an image. If they input the correct numbers their e-mail gets put on a white list. All past (e-mail sent within the past 90 days) and future e-mails from that user will go directly to your account. Sporkie will completely eliminate all spam since it verifies that the e-mail address the mail was sent from was the real address, and that a human person uses that e-mail address. Other systems simply verify the address is a real e-mail address.
