A few words about SpamAssassin

SpamAssassin filters your email before it goes out to your recipients. It scans the headlines and content of the message, looking for elements that may attract the attention of spam filters. But the search is not limited just to the content - SpamAssassin also looks for things like the use of all capital letters in the subject line and measures the text-to-graphics ratio.

The program assigns points to emails for every element that could be a potential problem for spam filters. Being given 5 or more points marks an email as spam. On this scale, the lower the score the higher the probability that the message will reach a subscriber’s inbox and not be classified as “unwanted” mail.
