Apache SpamAssassin
The #1 Open Source anti-spam platform for classifying and blocking email spam
Apache SpamAssassin is an open-source anti-spam platform designed for system administrators to filter and block unsolicited bulk email. It employs a robust scoring framework combining heuristic analysis, Bayesian filtering, DNS blocklists, and collaborative filtering databases to evaluate email headers and body text. It is a project of the Apache Software Foundation and is widely used in server-side email filtering deployments.
SpamAssassin scores incoming emails using a combination of text analysis, Bayesian filtering, DNS blocklists, and plug-in rules to classify and block spam.
