[Overview]
SpamAssassin in a Box is a powerful and reliable spam filter
for Windows.
Service-Based Anti-Spam Solution for Windows
Beside the famous email filter 'SpamAssassin', SpamAssassin in a Box also
contains a Windows system service, making SpamAssassin controllable via the
Windows Service Control Manager. A fully preconfigured SpamAssassin is already
included, as well as several enhancements (regarding stability, memory usage,
signal handling, ...) for running the spam filter on a Windows system.
The service monitors SpamAssassin's daemon 'SpamD' and updates the anti-spam
rules automatically to guarantee a maximal efficiency of the spam filter..
Furthermore it contains a lot of additional individual configuration options.
The software is suitable for use in Windows-based server systems, but is also
supported by any other common Windows system.
Spam Scoring
SpamAssassin in a Box uses a scoring system to declare the likelihood of a mail
being spam. The spam score can than be used by a continuative program, usually
the MTA (Message Transfer Agent), to decide how to handle the mail. To obtain a
complete anti-spam solution, you have to connect SpamAssassin in a Box to your
MTA. Many well-known MTAs support a corresponding connection or can be extended
by this sort of link (e.g. Microsoft Exchange or hMailServer).
