SpamAssassin has a wide array of spam-killing weapons at its disposal. It uses DNS and checksum based spam detection, Bayesian filtering, external programs, and online databases. Spam scoring determines if a message is marked 'ham' or 'spam' (a negative overall score is spam and positive overall is ham). The program is written in Perl and it can run as a standalone application, a subprogram of another application, or as a client that communicates with a daemon. Even if SpamAssassin is used as a system-wide filter, it can still be configured by each user for their own personal mailbox preferences.
