Turing Test Junk Mail Purger

A simple spam filter for MS Outlook 2000/XP that uses Turing Tests to filter spam-bots. Freeware. TT-Jump is the ultimate solution for automatically generated junk e-mail (spam). It filters spam away not by trying to analyze the incoming messages and tell which spam from not spam, but by verifying the that the sender is an actual human being and not an automated spam-bot. To do that, a very simple Turing Test (a test that can tell computers from people) is presented to anyone who sends you emails: the messages are accepted if the Turing Test is passed, and filtered into a junk e-mail folder otherwise. The current implementation of TT-Jump is made in Visual Basic.Net and CDO (Communication Data Objects) because it was the fastest and easiest way to do it. As a result, it has the following limitations: - TT-Jump works only with MS Outlook (Outlook Express and most other e-mail clients don't support CDO); - it does not support Hotmail (CDO crashes miserably when it tries to access Hotmail through Outlook), and - you have to install .Net framework on your computer before you can run TT-Jump.
