SpamAssassin - Network-based Filtering Methods

Network-based Filtering Methods

SpamAssassin also supports:

  • DNS-based blackhole lists and DNS-based whitelists
  • URI blacklists such as SURBL or URIBL.com which track spam websites
  • checksum-based filters such as the Distributed Checksum Clearinghouses, Vipul's Razor and the Cloudmark Authority plug-in (commercial)
  • Hashcash email stamps based on proof-of-work
  • Sender Policy Framework and DomainKeys Identified Mail

More methods can be added reasonably easily by writing a Perl plug-in for SpamAssassin.

Famous quotes containing the word methods:

    In inner-party politics, these methods lead, as we shall yet see, to this: the party organization substitutes itself for the party, the central committee substitutes itself for the organization, and, finally, a “dictator” substitutes himself for the central committee.
    Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
