Hi all, Does anybody have ideas about writing trainable anti-spam mail filters - that you can add onto any web-mail script ? Looking for something written in perl/php that'll allow me to just check the checkboxes beside spam mails and click any button (say, "mark as spam") and the script studies the mail headers and creates its own list of originating spammer domains/ips & blocks out mails from 'em ? Thanks

I can't help you writing any program

Did you look at spamassasin http://spamassassin.apache.org/

I use this in my email server with settings to mark spam as spam if the scoring is >=10 or send a SMTP reject if the score is >=25.
I Apply Bayesian knowledge to the heuristic message scoring. Wit RBL's (Real-Time Block Lists) and SPF (Sender Policy Framework) it takes care of 85% off all spam.

The honeypot project is a future way of reducing spam by tracking the spam harvesters. This project is a "new" approach to prevent spam. As soon as the database grows the project will be more utiliced by the community of spam fighters. Good article on spam prevention
Click on my Honeypot button to read more about the project.

Sorry for exhumin' this outdated thread... did you find any information about this? I'd like to develop something like a trainable bookmark categorizer and I'm looking for any kind of informations about trainable software.

So... if you got anything about this topic, please let me know! Thanks!
