SpamOracle, a.k.a. "Saint Peter", is a tool to help detect and
|
|
filter away "spam" (unsolicited commercial e-mail). It proceeds
|
|
by statistical analysis of the words that appear in the e-mail,
|
|
comparing the frequencies of words with those found in a user-provided
|
|
corpus of known spam and known legitimate e-mail. The classification
|
|
algorithm is based on Bayes' formula, and is described in Paul
|
|
Graham's paper, A plan for spam.
|
|
|
|
This program is designed to work in conjunction with procmail. The
|
|
result of the analysis is output as an additional message header
|
|
X-Spam:, followed by yes, no or unknown, plus additional details.
|
|
A procmail rule can then test this X-Spam: header and deliver the
|
|
e-mail to the appropriate mailbox.
