Still curious? Here is The long answer:

It logs into your mail server email account every ten minutes and inspects it for spam emails. It destroys computer viruses and obvious spam (like porno and drug emails) immediately. It leaves innocent email untouched for you to download as normal. It moves "unsure" category email to a quarantine on this website (Mostly, this mail is constituted of bulk "newsletters"). This mail stays in quarantine until either you make a judgement or 30 days pass. Your judgements are 'remembered', to create new adaptive filtering rules. You have Internet access to your quarantined email all times, and have full control over what happens to it.

Are you a techno-geek? Then here is The really long answer:

Technically, it is a "Third party delete from pop3 auto blacklister / whitelister, with bayesian filtering, collaborative filtering, user subject line filtering, and optional challenge-response".

1. Every ten minutes, our program logs into your ISP's email server and checks for new messages addressed to you, before you download them.
2. If it is from someone on your 'white-list', the email is approved.
3. If your special keyword is in the subject line, the sender is 'white-listed' and the email is approved.
4. If it is from someone on your personal 'black-list', the email is silently quarantined on our website (or optionally deleted).
5. If it is from an infamous spam company (listed on 3 or more carefully selected collaborative blacklists), the email is deleted from your inbox.
6. The email is analyzed using Bayesian classification (Robinson/Fischer method) and deleted if 100% similar to our collection of verified spam emails, or the email is approved if it is 100% similar to our collection of good email.
7. If the sender is unrecognized and the email has only a few spam signs, then it is put into quarantine. You can control your email and spam filter configuration using your Control Panel on this website (This is done to prevent "false positives", or false classification of desired email as "Spam").
8. (Optional) If the mail is still not categorized correctly, then a short challenge-response verification email is returned to the sender, asking him/her to verify he/she is human by reading a word embedded in a picture and typing it into a text box* or sending a second email with your special keyword in the subject line. This only has to be done once. [Example]. If the word is typed correctly, then the email is released from quarantine, and the sender 'white-listed'. From now on, this person's emails will come to you smoothly.
9. When an email is approved, two links are added to the top of the page: Block and Approve. You should click on one of these links to signify that you want to block the sender of this mail, or approve all future mail from this sender. The Spam Eater will learn your judgements and adapt its behaviour to your wishes.
10. After 30 days, quarantined email is deleted.

Congratulations! You have just taken control of your inbox, your email is once again yours.

* If the sender doesn't type the word correctly, he is given another one. You can also add him to your white-list of approved senders, and his emails will always come to you smoothly without being blocked. Try the 30 days of absolutely free spam blocking! ...

** Senders can bypass the email verification process, using your keyword in the incoming subject line. You can put it on your business card or in your website, for example. The easiest way to use it is to put it in your subject line when you send email out, then the recipient will reply with the same subject. Once they are on your white-list, they never have to do it again!

You can easily manage your quarantined mail, your white-list and black-list, and also take a quick peek at your current email, here on this website.
