Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-06-03 Severity: wishlist * Package name : dspam Version : 2.6.0.65 Upstream Author : Network Dweebs Corporation <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.networkdweebs.com/software/dspam/ * License : GPL Description : advanced Bayesian anti-spam local delivery agent
DSPAM (as in De-Spam) is an open-source project to create a new kind of anti-spam mechanism, and is currently effective as both a server-side agent for UNIX email servers and a developer's library for mail clients, other anti-spam tools, and similar projects requiring drop-in spam filtering. The DSPAM agent masquerades as the email server's local delivery agent and filters/learns spams using an advanced Bayesian statistical approach (based on Baye's theorem of combined probabilities) which provides an administratively maintenance-free, easy-learning Anti-Spam service custom tailored to each individual user's behavior. Advanced because on top of standard Bayesian filtering is also incorporated the use of Chained Tokens, de-obfuscation, and other enhancements. DSPAM works great with Sendmail and Exim, and should work well with any other MTA that supports an external local delivery agent (postfix, qmail, etc.)
