About Apache SpamAssassin<br>
-------------------------<br>
<br>
Apache SpamAssassin is a mature, widely-deployed open source project<br>
that serves as a mail filter to identify spam. SpamAssassin uses a variety<br>
of mechanisms including mail header and text analysis, Bayesian filtering,<br>
DNS blocklists, and collaborative filtering databases. In addition, Apache<br>
SpamAssassin has a modular architecture that allows other technologies to be<br>
quickly incorporated as an addition or as a replacement for existing methods.<br>
Apache SpamAssassin typically runs on a server, classifies and labels spam<br>
before it reaches your mailbox, while allowing other components of a mail<br>
system to act on its results.<br>
<br>
Most of the Apache SpamAssassin is written in Perl, with heavily traversed<br>
code paths carefully optimized. Benefits are portability, robustness and<br>
facilitated maintenance. It can run on a wide variety of POSIX platforms.<br>
The server and the Perl library feels at home on Unix and Linux platforms,<br>
and reportedly also works on MS Windows systems under ActivePerl.<br>
