Spam Assassin
SpamAssassin(tm) 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:

• 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 is tagged as spam for later filtering using the Spam Corral application.

Spam Corral
The Spam Assassin spam filter redirects all received spam to the Spam Corral, instead of delivering it. However, it is possible that a piece of spam could be valuable or even that a non-spam message be misidentified as spam and corralled by mistake. The spam handling programs in this package make dealing with spam simple and easy.

The notification program is run once a day by at 6 AM, whereupon it will send email notification messages to all recipeints of spam, summarizing each of the messages received since the last time it was run. When a user receives notification, they can optionally reply to the message, listing any pieces of spam which they wish to see and it will be remailed to them (this time it passes through the filter unscathed).
