The following are some of the changes in version 2.0
PreRelease 3


Improved Security - In the past Junk Spy would accept a
connection from any TCP/IP interface (Dial-up, LAN, loopback),
determine if it was really a local connection and then
immediately close it if it was not local.  Now, Junk Spy has
the option to only accept connections on the loop back
interface, accept from both loopback and external, or to
accept external and present a warning.  The loopback only
option is the safest, but may also complicate configuration.


Exception Wizard - To help build exceptions, we have included
a new Wizard.  Our research indicates that a few exceptions
can significantly reduce the number of falsely marked junk
messages, but users rarely take the time to create an
exception.  To help, we have included the Exception Wizard to
make it quick and easy to build an exception.  Just paste a
incorrectly marked junk message in to Junk Spy and the
Exception Wizard will analyize the message and prompt you as
needed to create the exception.


Improved compatibility - Several changes have been made to
improve Junk Spy's interaction with email and other programs.

        Marking via subject - Some programs do not allow
        filtering based on arbitrary header fields.  For those
        programs, Junk Spy will include text in the subject
        field that can be used to filter on.

        Additional formats for userid/server - In addition to
        Junk Spy's username@servername sytanx, you can use
        username/servername with programs like Netscape which
        won't pass the @ character.

        Norton Antivirus - Symantec's Norton Antivirus has a
        feature to scan incoming email.  Junk Spy will coexist
        with this feature.


Windows support - Junk Spy now supports Windows 95, Windows
98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows Me, and Windows 2000.


Expanded email compatibility list - Junk Spy is now compatible
with Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, Netscape
Communicator 4.7, Eudora (Lite, Sponsored, Pro), and
PMMail/2000.


Detection size threshold - For email programs with a short
time out, you can specify a size threshold for which messages
will be sent directly. If a message is larger than the
threshold it will not be examined, and therefore can be sent
immediately.


Non-modal dialogs - You can now open multiple dialogs from
Junk Spy.


Detection Update - Includes a comprehensive update to the
detection database that will preserve existing users'
settings.


Jump to Clue - When viewing the detection report, placing the
cursor on a group of report entries and pressing the Clue
button will take you directly to the clue definition.  You can
then edit the clue or create a local exception.


Fixed problems in version 2

Update processing would consume all available CPU resources.
If a message was processed twice by Junk Spy, strange things
would happen.
