- SpamAssassin is a mail filter to identify spam.
-
- Using its rule base, it uses a wide range of heuristic tests on mail headers and body text to identify "spam", also known as unsolicited commercial email.

- The spam-identification tactics used include:

+and body text to identify "spam", also known as unsolicited commercial email.
- * header analysis: spammers use a number of tricks to mask their identities, fool you into thinking they've sent a valid mail, or fool you into thinking you must have subscribed at some stage. SpamAssassin tries to spot these.
- * text analysis: again, spam mails often have a characteristic style (to put it politely), and some characteristic disclaimers and CYA text. SpamAssassin can spot these, too.
- * blacklists: SpamAssassin supports many useful existing blacklists, such as mail-abuse.org, ordb.org or others.
- * Razor: Vipul's Razor is a collaborative spam-tracking database, which works by taking a signature of spam messages. Since spam typically operates by sending an identical message to hundreds of people, Razor short-circuits this by allowing the first person to receive a spam to add it to the database -- at which point everyone else will automatically block it.

- Once identified, the mail can then be optionally tagged as spam for later filtering using the user's own mail user-agent application.

- SpamAssassin requires very little configuration; you do not need to continually update it with details of your mail accounts, mailing list memberships, etc. It accomplishes filtering without this knowledge, as much as possible.

- The distribution provides a command line tool to perform filtering, along with Mail::SpamAssassin, a set of perl modules which implement a Mail::Audit plugin, allowing SpamAssassin to be used in a Mail::Audit filter, or (possibly at some point) in a spam-protection proxy POP/IMAP server.
