SpamAssassin (SA) is a neat Email filter that tags incoming mails it thinks are spam. Its aggressiveness can be configured, and it comes with a decent default level. It's written in Perl and is licensed under the same license as Perl itself.

You can use SA in many places:

• in your MailClient
• on your mail delivery machine, running it from procmail(1)
• on your mail server, using your MTA's integration, or a program like MailScanner or amavisd-new to run it on all your incoming mail.

Things SpamAssassin uses:

• VipulsRazor, a distributed spam detection system
• SURBL, the Spam URI realtime blacklist

See our SpamAssassinNotes page for help using SA.

(Note, this product will assassinate Spam, but will leave SPAM well alone!)
