The Habu Project Information
The Habu Project will eventually expand into a full suite of Software in an effort to enable Netziens the power to stop or slow down spam to their computers.
What is the Habu Project?
This is an extension is for the Thunderbird mail client. You can download the extension below. It is meant to help report spam and illicit e-mails properly, quickly and to the right places. It will also help those that may not be as technical savy as some, and don't understand how to give an admin the needed header information. Please note this program will NOT stop spam. This is meant solely to report spam to companies and law enforcement so they can prosecute spammers. Reporting does help cut back spam for everyone, but it will take time.
