foreign languages

[Arvid Ephraim Picciani <ae...@ibcsolutions.de>]

greetings.
any ideas for spam in russian and chineese? (some even with broken charset)
XBL and bayes are very effective but not enough :/
I'd like to have some kind of language matcher. We don't have people speaking 
russian in the company so it would be nice to give 1 or 2 points on just the 
language.

Well, SpamAssassin has two tools to help here..

ok_locales will check character sets. By default it allows everything, 
but you can change it to only allow character sets that are appropriate 
for your locale.

Also, there's the TextCat plugin, which you'd have to un-comment in 
v310.pre. Once that's enabled, you can start using ok_languages, which 
tries to guess at the language of a message based on character combinations.

Please read the docs closely, as there are a lot more languages than 
locales, so what's valid for one isn't valid for the other. (There are 
lots of languages that all use the same character sets.)

Look at TextCat plugin and ok_languages setting.

There's also ok_locale settigns which match the alphabet setting and does
not require any plugin...
