2. In The Bat! go to menu Options -> Preferences -> Protection -> Anti-SPAM.
3. Push [ADD] and search for vampire plug-in (usually in c:program filesvampirex).
4. I have this configuration in TB! plug-in settings (its good for me):
· Out of 100 [... blah blah]: Minimal
· [X] delete a [... blah blah]: 80
· [X] move a [... blah blah]: 60

WARNING: after you checking "[X] delete a [... blah blah]: 80" there is a risk of loosing mails if VampireX says: "this mail is spam", please first read how to use VampireX and then check it.

USING:
After installation youll see a VampireX icon on your desktop. Double clicking on it launches setting program of plug-in.

You will see three tabs:

· Editor, here you can easily create new set of filters. Edition is done by choosing appropriate option of new filter (location, presence (or not) searched string, type of string, and at last typing searched string). Of course you can apply logical conditions between filters (buttons and or).
· Filters, here you can make secure, trash and suspect mail filters using the language described in help button.
· Options, here you can decide how works the plugin.

Notes:
I recommend scan only the first 50KB of single mail. Scanning more may caused your system hung.

Detects all known spam kinds.
Antispam Marisuite really recognizes all known methods for passing through spam filters. It filters spam, which contains advertisements in pictures, independently of distortion, pictures format and presence or absence message text.

Email filter uses progressive methods for filtering spam. Core of spam filter is based on statistical analysis of messages Bayes method.

Also it uses original computational approaches which allow calculate messages estimations more accurate.
The anti-spam filter uses method based on social network theory. It allows reducing probability of false positives. Also Antispam Marisuite can reply to filtered messages with "bounces". Bounces are messages with instruction on how to pass through e-mail filter. Spammers never receive return mail and so they cannot use the instruction.

AntispamSniper for The Bat! provides a bullet-proof anti-spam & anti-phishing protection for your mailbox. The unique combination of several methods for automatic email classification shows impressive filtering quality. The plug-in also has a built-in option allowing deleting spam on the server by headers.

Features:

- The statistical trainable classification algorithm has unique characteristics. It learns your private correspondence, extracts the distinguishing features from messages of different classes and uses that information for effective analysis of other incoming messages. The algorithm improves its classification quality continuously with each new learned message.

- The messages from whitelisted senders are not filtered by other methods and recognized as non-spam at once. The whitelist is updated on learning automatically.

- The filtering rules are recognizing spam and ham by specific combinations of symbols in a body and headers of the email messages. The rules are optional, because the trained algorithm and a whitelist are very effective. But the accurately assembled lists of rules may improve the classification quality in cases when the algorithm is unable to select a certain class for a message with high probability.

- Exceptions are the empirical conditions for filtering. For example, large messages are probably non-spam. The presence of certain types of attached files also can be a good sign for recognizing message as non-spam.

- Most phishing attacks are blocked automatically.

- The filtering log allows you to track back the history of classifying messages and training the plug-in. -

- See the statistics of filtering as a table or as a nice chart. Both The Bat! and Voyager are supported.

- DNSBL services are used for blocking spam by IP address of the sender.

- A list of black words is used for deleting spam by keywords in subject.

- The plug-in optionally learns the outgoing messages as non-spam.
