Using DSPAM

Sunday, February 12, 2006

DSPAM is a great server side spam removal solution. It uses several of the best techniques to find spam, and is correct 99.5% of the time. This is much greater than other commercial spam filter software that only performs at 95%.

Setting up DSPAM is not quite as simple of task as using Mail's filter in OS X because it is a whole server solution. To set it up you need access to your mail server. Once it is setup, it gives every user of the domain access to their own web-based spam removal interface. The DSPAM web interface is one of the better open source user-interfaces.
