CONFIG_DSPAM
DSPAM (as in De-Spam) is an extremely scalable, open-source statistical
anti-spam filter. While most commercial solutions only claim a mere 95%
accuracy (1 error in 20), a majority of DSPAM users frequently see around
99.95% (1 error in 2000) and can sometimes reach peaks as high as 99.991%
(2 errors in 22,786, as with one particular user). DSPAM presently
functions 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. DSPAM has been implemented on
many large and small scale systems with the largest being reported at
about 350,000 mailboxes and is presently being used or planned for use
in multiple commercial spam filter solutions.
DSPAM is a dedicated statistical filter and in being such provides higher
accuracy levels than commercial "hodge-podge" solutions, and with minimal
resources. DSPAM has managed to achieve nearly equal levels of accuracy
with present-day Markovian-based filters and other types of filters that
employ large feature sets with the added benefit of using a significantly
fewer amount of resources. DSPAM's best recorded levels of accuracy have
included 99.991% by one avid user (2 errors in 22,786) and 99.987% by
the author(1 error in 7000) , which is ten times more accurate than
a human being!
