Scylla is a freeware spam complaining tool. For example, you received spam
message, and you want it to stop. The only thing you need to do, is copy
message's source (you can do it in most e-mail clients) into Scylla's window,
and click 3 buttons. First button is a "paste" button. Second - "Investigate".
And a third - is "Complain".
Scylla will point on real message originator, will find his ISP (Internet
Service Provider), will forward message to some organizations, who fight with
spam (see below), and will send a well-sounding complaint to everyone, who is
responsible to shut the spammer down. Our research and experience shows, that
Scylla is highly effective in cleaning your mailbox, if your mail server is
using DNS services of SpamCop, ORDB and similar organizations. The business of
Scylla - to submit unknown spam to these organizations, and then it is up to
your server to not allow these people to send you anything again.
Here is a list of functions that you will find in Scylla:
-
Find spammers IP and ISP
-
Submit complaint to spammer's ISP
-
Submit complaint to US Federal
Trade Commission
-
Submit spammer's IP to Open Relay
DataBase and anyone you want, for example, to SpamCop.
-
Work beyond HTTP proxy server, making complaining possible even if you are
beyond the corporate network or firewall
-
Exclude user-defined headers from complaint, keeping your private data for your
eyes only
-
Submit spammer's "creativity" as attached text file or inside the complaint
-
One-click complaining!
Most of these features exists in Scylla only. Scylla gives you the same result
as you would get by hands, working on complaint 10 minutes or more. Scylla will
do everything in a second.

Setup (windows) |
Source code (VB 6) |

This setup program was dedicated for internet downloading, and to make easier
for you to download, we removed all required system files that may already be on
your computer. Make sure you have this runtime installed on your computer:
Important note about source code: it uses one 3rd party component for splitting.
You can find it in References folder. You can easily remove it or substitute
with another splitter, for example free and open source one. If you have a
license for a GreenTree ActiveToolbox, then you won't bother at all.

System requirements:
Scylla is compatible with all 32-bit versions of Windows.

|
Licensing and ordering |
|
Software like Scylla must be free by its nature. So it is. However, you can

optional, do this if you really want it.
