Features
-
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.
