Integrated Spam Filtering #2

Open jojobear99 opened 8 years ago

Do a feasibility assessment on integrating support for Spam Assassin

It has been frequently requested to have better spam filtering integration (such as DNS blocklists or Baysean Filtering). Currently some people use K9 as a filter (but development has long stopped on that product and it doesn't support SSL or IMAP so it's rather limiting featurewise. PopFile and Spamihilator are two other spam filtering apps that work with PopTrayU using a similar proxy technique.

It would be desirable to also have a hook in the application where you can pass the message to an external application to have it give a spam rating without requiring a proxy setup. Spam Assassin looks like a promising choice and the open source GPL license is well suited to the nature of this project.
