Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy is a spam filter that sits on port 25 in front of your
regular SMTP server (sendmail, postfix, qmail, etc).

ASSP performs a number of configurable spam checks, and on detecting a spam
message, provides an immediate 5xx SMTP error code back to the client.
Non-spam messages are passed to your regular SMTP server for further
processing and delivery.  ASSP includes SSL and IPv6 support.  It is a single
script with a web-based configuration tool.

ASSP offers:
    - a whitelist of known good senders
    - Bayesian checks on message headers and contents
    - recipient address validation using LDAP and RFC822 conformance
    - relay denial
    - HELO checking
    - SPF (Sender Policy Framework) checking
    - DNSBL (DNS Block List) checking using many DNSBL services
    - various SMTP error modes detection
    - Virus detection
and many other spam detection techniques.
