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:
“A writer who writes, “I am alone” ... can be considered rather comical. It is comical for a man to recognize his solitude by addressing a reader and by using methods that prevent the individual from being alone. The word alone is just as general as the word bread. To pronounce it is to summon to oneself the presence of everything the word excludes.”
—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
