SpamScan Description

The inline spam remover Spamscan is a free and open source system tool for Unix-based operating systems that aims to do what all other spam scanners can't do: filter out all the spam. Basically how spamscan works is it not only searches for keywords, but also key phrases in a given e-mail. Maybe a certain word or phrase isn't a spam phrase when used one way, but add or subrtact one word, and all of a sudden it is. These key spam words and phrases are meant to be fully customizable by the end user, or with good enough defaults to catch almost all spam and not label non-spam as spam. Once an e-mail is labeled spam, it can be either deleted right away, or SpamScan can tag the subject "SPAM: " Spamscan also uses a points system to detect spam. certain words may appear in a friend's e-mail as well as a spammer's email. So, give less points to that phrase. Once the points calculated by spamscan reach a certain level (10 by default) the e-mail is labeled as spam. Here are some key features of "SpamScan": · SpamScan can either be set up system wide, or it can be set up per user. · Each user can have his/her own filters and config files to control the behavior of the spamscan tool. · Currently tested on Sendmail, on both FreeBSD 4.x systems and Solaris systems. · Works well even with Amavis and other virus scanners. · Uses a points system, with every key word or phrase having a positive or negative value. When a max point valus is reached, the e-mail is labeled spam · Optionally strips all html from an e-mail before scanning Requirements: · Perl What's New in This Release: · First release.
