| |
| GPG Verification Procedure |
| -------------------------- |
| The release files also have a .asc accompanying them. The file serves |
| as an external GPG signature for the given release file. The signing |
| key is available via the wwwkeys.pgp.net key server, as well as |
| http://www.apache.org/dist/spamassassin/KEYS |
| |
| The key information is: |
| |
| pub 4096R/F7D39814 2009-12-02 |
| Key fingerprint = D809 9BC7 9E17 D7E4 9BC2 1E31 FDE5 2F40 F7D3 9814 |
| uid SpamAssassin Project Management Committee <private@spamassassin.apache.org> |
| uid SpamAssassin Signing Key (Code Signing Key, replacement for 1024D/265FA05B) <dev@spamassassin.apache.org> |
| sub 4096R/7B3265A5 2009-12-02 |
| |
| To verify a release file, download the file with the accompanying .asc file and run the following commands: |
| |
| gpg -v --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-key F7D39814 |
| gpg --verify Mail-SpamAssassin-3.4.0.tar.bz2.asc |
| gpg --fingerprint F7D39814 |
| |
| Then verify that the key matches the signature. |
| |
| Note that older versions of gnupg may not be able to complete the steps |
| above. Specifically, GnuPG v1.0.6, 1.0.7 & 1.2.6 failed while v1.4.11 |
| worked flawlessly. |
| |
| See http://www.apache.org/info/verification.html for more information |
| on verifying Apache releases. |

| 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. |
