The file serves as an external GPG signature for the given release file. The signing key is available via the wwwkeys.pgp.net key server, as well as http://www.apache.org/dist/spamassassin/KEYS The key information is: pub 4096R/F7D39814 2009-12-02 Key fingerprint = D809 9BC7 9E17 D7E4 9BC2 1E31 FDE5 2F40 F7D3 9814 uid SpamAssassin Project Management Committee uid SpamAssassin Signing Key (Code Signing Key, replacement for 1024D/265FA05B) sub 4096R/7B3265A5 2009-12-02 To verify a release file, download the file with the accompanying .asc file and run the following commands: gpg -v --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-key F7D39814 gpg --verify Mail-SpamAssassin-3.3.2.tar.bz2.asc gpg --fingerprint F7D39814 Then verify that the key matches the signature.

SpamAssassin uses a variety of mechanisms including mail header and text analysis, Bayesian filtering, DNS blocklists, and collaborative filtering databases. In addition, Apache SpamAssassin has a modular architecture that allows other technologies to be quickly incorporated as an addition or as a replacement for existing methods. Apache SpamAssassin typically runs on a server, classifies and labels spam before it reaches your mailbox, while allowing other components of a mail system to act on its results. Most of the Apache SpamAssassin is written in Perl, with heavily traversed code paths carefully optimized. Benefits are portability, robustness and facilitated maintenance. It can run on a wide variety of POSIX platforms. The server and the Perl library feels at home on Unix and Linux platforms, and reportedly also works on MS Windows systems under ActivePerl.
