This email is to inform you about the release of version '2.60' of 'SpamAssassin' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be found at http://freshmeat.net/projects/spamassassin/ The changes in this release are as follows: The Bayes system was overhauled. The DB storage format was changed, and the journal/expire and tokenization algorithms were improved. spamd now supports UNIX-domain sockets. Better HTML parsing, detection of "invisible text", and other obfuscation techniques. DNS Blacklists were also overhauled with the addition of lots of new lists, removal of defunct lists, better timeout handling, and better header parsing. More flexible header and report rewriting options were implemented. Perl taint mode is now enabled by default for increased security. Project description: SpamAssassin is a mail filter that uses a wide range of heuristic tests on mail headers and body text to identify spam. Once identified, the mail can then be optionally tagged as spam for later filtering. It provides a command line tool to perform filtering, a client-server system to filter large volumes of mail, and Mail::SpamAssassin, a set of Perl modules that implement a Mail::Audit plugin -- allowing SpamAssassin to be used in a Mail::Audit filter, a spam-protection proxy POP/IMAP server, or almost anywhere.
