> Key: COMDEV-268
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-268
> Project: Community Development
> Issue Type: Project
> Components: GSoC/Mentoring ideas
> Reporter: Kevin A. McGrail
> Priority: Major
> Labels: GSoC2019
>
> As discussed in 2015 at [https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7287,] this idea was ideal for GSOC but there was a problem with a deadline missed.
>
> Apache SpamAssassin is a mail filter to identify spam. It is an intelligent email filter which uses a diverse range of tests to identify unsolicited bulk email, more commonly known as Spam. These tests are applied to email headers and content to classify email using advanced statistical methods.
> In addition, SpamAssassin has a modular architecture that allows other technologies to be quickly wielded against spam and is designed for easy integration into virtually any email system.
> It is primarily written in Perl with a few bits in C and shell scripts for system integration.
> The compendium at https://raptor.pccc.com/raptor.cgim?template=email_spam_compendium is helpful to understand some of the concepts with SpamAssassin
> It will be helpful for a student in this project to understand SMTP but a willingness to learn and setup your own mail server on a Linux Distribution with SpamAssassin for a personal test domain will be very desired with assistance provided to get the basic framework for a sandbox for learning.
> As email becomes more commodotized by major providers, knowledge of email systems and their security is dwindling. This opportunity can provide real-world experience with an email security product that is employed by countless commercial systems in the world.
