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.

Features that will be available soon:

  • Microsoft Outlook add-in

  • POP3 client

  • IMAP4 client

  • URL tracing and complaining to website ISPs

  • Request cache database

  • Send-and-forget service

In other words, this tiny utility is a perfect tool, making investigation a simple, fast and trivial process.

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.
