Mailwasher is supposed to neutralise all those bots - because only text is previewed (not downloading the 'image files'), and none of all that advanced "M$CrudWare" stuff is supposed to run in it.
With "blacklist" and "whitelist" capabilities, you set new wanted people in the "whitelist" on the first received message, and it does its own searches on 'blacklist servers' to keep a record of new knkown domains and addresses that mainly produce spam, thus it marks them thus.
You can also set up a large number of filters based on whatever address formats or or subject contents you want.
