+
+
+GPG Verification Procedure
+--------------------------
+The release files also have a .asc accompanying them.  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 <pr...@spamassassin.apache.org>
+uid                  SpamAssassin Signing Key (Code Signing Key, replacement for 1024D/265FA05B) <de...@spamassassin.apache.org>
+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-3.4.0.tar.bz2.asc
+  gpg --fingerprint F7D39814
+
+Then verify that the key matches the signature.
+
+Note that older versions of gnupg may not be able to complete the steps
+above. Specifically, GnuPG v1.0.6, 1.0.7 & 1.2.6 failed while v1.4.11
+worked flawlessly.
+
+See http://www.apache.org/info/verification.html for more information
+on verifying Apache releases.

+
+About Apache SpamAssassin
+-------------------------
+
+Apache SpamAssassin is a mature, widely-deployed open source project
+that serves as a mail filter to identify spam. 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.
