SpamAssassin has been a vital ingredient in our efforts to make a spam and antivirus filter solution based entirely on Open Source Software. Its ability to easily create specialized plugins has been fantastic in our efforts to reduce spam. We run a smaller spam farm and easily get 500.000 – 1.000.000 emails scanned every day.

SpamAssassin is the central scoring engines that makes it all work.
