SpamAssassin Description

SpamAssassin is a mail filter to identify spam. SpamAssassin project is a mature, widely-deployed open source project that serves as a mail filter to identify spam, also known as unsolicited commercial email (UCE)SpamAssassin uses a variety of mechanisms including header and text analysis, Bayesian filtering, DNS blocklists, and collaborative filtering databases. SpamAssassin runs on a server, and filters spam before it reaches your mailbox. Here are some key features of "SpamAssassin": · Wide-spectrum: SpamAssassin uses a wide variety of local and network tests to identify spam signatures. This makes it harder for spammers to identify one aspect which they can craft their messages to work around. · Free software: it is distributed under the same terms and conditions as other popular open-source software packages such as the Apache web server. · Easy to extend: Anti-spam tests and configuration are stored in plain text, making it easy to configure and add new rules. · Flexible: SpamAssassin encapsulates its logic in a well-designed, abstract API so it can be integrated anywhere in the email stream. The Mail::SpamAssassin classes can be used on a wide variety of email systems including procmail, sendmail, Postfix, qmail, and many others. · Easy Configuration: SpamAssassin requires very little configuration; you do not need to continually update it with details of your mail accounts, mailing list memberships, etc. Once classified, site and user-specific policies can then be applied against spam. Policies can be applied on both mail servers and later using the user's own mail user-agent application.
