TMDA is an open source software application designed to significantly reduce the amount of SPAM (Internet junk-mail) you receive. TMDA strives to be more effective, yet less time-consuming than traditional SPAM filters. TMDA can also be used as a general purpose local mail delivery agent to filter, sort, deliver and dispose of incoming mail. . TMDA was originally based upon a Perl script written by Thomas Erskine called Tagged Message Sender (TMS), but has since evolved into a significantly larger and more featureful application.
