acoc is a regular-expression based colour formatter for programs that display output on the command-line. It works as a wrapper around the target program, executing it and capturing the stdout stream. Optionally, stderr can be redirected to stdout, so that it, too, can be manipulated. acoc then applies matching rules to patterns in the output and applies colours to those matches.

Linguaphile is a simple command line language translator. It is open source, platform independent, and programmed in Perl. Linguaphile currently supports the following languages: Afrikaans, Alawa, Albanian, Arrernte, Basque, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Estonian, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hawaiian, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Interlingua, Irish, Italian, Kala Lagaw Ya, Korean, Kriol, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Maltese, Maori, Norwegian, Pitjantjatjara, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Samoan, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Thai, Tok Pisin, Turkish, Ukrainian, Warlpiri, and Welsh. The Spanish to English translation is the most useful at this stage.

Gubby keeps track of changes in your procmail log file, and will in real time display in which folders new email has been placed. Mailboxes are read using a specified external mail user agent. Output is normally displayed in a nice and colorful curses environment, but can also be printed to the standard output from the command prompt.

hd2u is Hany's Dos2Unix convertor, a filter used
to convert plain text from the DOS format (CR/LF)
to the UNIX format (LF) and vice versa. It can
also handle files in the Macintosh format (CR) and
convert them into other formats.

XFMail is an X11 application for receiving
electronic mail. It implements most of its email
functionality internally so that it does not
depend on a lot of extra packages. It supports
POP3, MBOX, IMAP4, sendmail, and SMTP. It has
built-in support for interfacing with PGP, GPG,
ispell/aspell, faces, LDAP, and esound. It runs on
most Unix variants.

Subtitles consists of a command line tool, 'subs', and a Perl backend that provide a means for the simple loading, re-timing, converting, and storing of movie subtitle files. The supported formats include .srt, .sub, and .smi. It can easily be extended.

anonvelope is a mail-message processing program that is designed to allow the message to make full use of Type-I (cpunk-style) remailers. It is especially designed to work with Pine, but it is possible it may be used with other MUAs.

renattach is a stream filter that can identify and act upon potentially dangerous e-mail attachments. It's a highly effective way of protecting users from harmful mail content (virii and worms) by disabling or removing attachments that may be accidentally executed by the user. It is written in pure C and can quickly process mail with little overhead. Unlike a conventional virus scanner, there are no specific virus or worm definitions. Instead, it identifies potentially dangerous attachments based on filename extension and on encoded body content. It can be used from within sendmail, postfix, procmail, or pretty much anywhere else.

Junk Mail Buffering Agent is a tool for preventing
delivery of email until the sender has confirmed
his address. It is intended for use in conjunction
with a spam filter to prevent delivery of
suspected spam email messages unless the sender is
confirmed as valid.

mxallowd is a daemon for Linux Netfilter (using libnetfilter-queue) and BSD pf (using pflog) which implements a slightly improved nolisting mechanism. It requires your name server to be configured to return two MX IP addresses, and the one with higher priority must not run a mail server on port 25. mxallowd blocks attempts to connect to the mail server unless the sender tries to connect to the first mail server before the second. Since most spammers will attempt direct connections to each mail server, they will be blocked.

FileType is a file type detection engine written
in C. It will appeal to coders looking for
functionality similar to that provided by the
'file' command. FileType is compact (less than 20K
binary), efficient, and very portable. FileType is
part of the family of software created from the
commercial Xamime email filtering project.

SPF is a new strategy for preventing junk mail.
The present SMTP standard for email allows anyone
to forge anyone else's email address. SPF verifies
that the Sender address of an email message
matches (according to some policy) the client IP
address that submitted it. libspf2 is a complete
and robust implementation of SPF which provides
support for many MTAs. Support for new MTAs is in
progress.
