  1. SpamAssassin is a mail filter to identify spam.
  2. Using its rule base and optional network sources (DNS-based lists and
  3. collaborative spam-tracking databases), it carries out a wide range of
  4. heuristic tests on mail headers and body text to identify "spam", also
  5. known as unsolicited commercial email.
  6. Once identified, the mail can then be optionally tagged as spam for
  7. later filtering using the user's own mail user-agent application.
  8. SpamAssassin requires very little configuration; you do not need
  9. to continually update it with details of your mail accounts, mailing
  10. list memberships, etc. It accomplishes filtering without this
  11. knowledge, as much as possible.
  12. Read ${PREFIX}/share/doc/SpamAssassin/README
  13. for further installation instructions.
  14. Or if you are in a hurry you can read:
  15. ${PREFIX}/share/doc/SpamAssassin/OpenBSD-SpamAssassin-mini-howto.html
  16. The SpamAssassin Wiki is available at <http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin>
  17. and contains up-to-date information on configuring SpamAssassin, and using
  18. some of the more advanced features of it.
