NOTE: Worst Offenders for WordPress 2.5 is currently a pre-alpha release for developer feedback only.

If you use any anti-spam tool you will no doubt be delighted that spam can be automatically identified, but less happy that you now have to either trawl through the spam to check for false positives, or just give up and hope for the best – this is where Worst Offenders can help: it analyses messages already marked as spam and uses several techniques to identify messages with common sources, subjects and content – those which are definitely spam. These Worst Offenders can be deleted en-masse, hopefully leaving just a handful of messages that can be checked by hand.
