[SpamAssassin | http://spamassassin.apache.org] (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.

SpamAssassin doesn't just have to use local static rules.  It can run many tests on the Internet:

* VipulsRazor, a distributed spam detection system
* [SURBL], the Spam URI realtime blacklist
* [DCC (Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse)|http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/] (detecting spam based on comparing checksums of messages received all across the InterNet)

See our [SpamAssassinNotes] page for help using SA.

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