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