Apache SpamAssassin report to Board for September 2021
SpamAssassin is a mail filter to identify spam. The project provides a framework/engine and regular rule updates that reflect the changing nature of spam email seen in the wild. Updated rules are generated through a combination of hand crafted contributions and automated processing of spam and anonymized processed non-spam that are contributed by volunteers.
Status and health report:
The project activities, including running our rule update infrastructure and our dev and user mailing lists, are continuing smoothly.
Primary focus for development is now targeting version 4.0.0
Releases:
The last release was Apache SpamAssassin version 3.4.6 on 12 April 2021.
Note that we maintain online rule updates that are continuously updated through a combination of developer contributions and automated processing via our mass-check facility.
