Top: Computers: Software: Internet: Servers: Mail: Spam_Filtering
|
This category is specifically for server-level spam filters.
Spam filters that operate on individual mailboxes (that is, mail filters that operate at the client level) belong generally in Computers/Software/Internet/Clients.
A spam filter that is a plug-in to a specific mail-reading program (or is a description of how to write filtering rules for that program) belongs in the category for that mail reading program. (For example, spam filters for Eudora belong in Computers/Software/Internet/Clients/Mail/Eudora.)
A spam filter that is a standalone application meant to be run by a client should go to Computers/Software/Internet/Clients/Mail/Windows/Tools/Anti-Spam (if it is a Windows program), or Computers/Software/Internet/Clients/Mail/ if it runs on any other operating system.
Spam filters that work with only one type of mail server should go in the category for that particular server; for example, Sendmail filter rules belong in Computers/Software/Internet/Servers/Mail/Sendmail. There are similar categories for a variety of mail servers in Computers/Software/Internet/Servers/Mail. If there is no category for the mail server your spam filters are written for, you can submit them here. Procmail filters go in Computers/Software/Internet/Clients/Mail/Unix/Procmail whether or not you think procmail is a client.
In addition, more general spam sites belong in Computers/Internet/Abuse/Spam. Hosted spam services belong in Computers/Internet/Abuse/Spam/Filtering |
This category is for anti-spam programs that operate on mail servers. The difference between an anti-spam program running on a mail server and an anti-spam program operating on a mail client is that the filter running on the server can remove spam from everyone's mailbox at the same time, instead of from just one user's mailbox. Server-level programs are installed by a systems administrator, and individual users do not need to maintain them.Spam filters for a specific mail server (for example, writing filters for sendmail) are listed in the category devoted to that mail server. This category contains standalone software (and hardware) designed for spam filtering.
