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:
“I conceive that the leading characteristic of the nineteenth century has been the rapid growth of the scientific spirit, the consequent application of scientific methods of investigation to all the problems with which the human mind is occupied, and the correlative rejection of traditional beliefs which have proved their incompetence to bear such investigation.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
