spamassassin-devel Highly efficient mail filter for identifying spam
2026.07.27_3 mail Σ 2026.07.27_3Version of this port present on the latest quarterly branch. Maintainer: cy@FreeBSD.org Port Added: 2021-03-25 00:41:23Last Update: 2026-08-13 14:25:46Commit Hash: cc92cc4 Also Listed In: perl5 License: APACHE20WWW: https://spamassassin.apache.org/ Description: # SpamAssassin is a mail filter which attempts to identify spam using text
analysis and several internet-based realtime blacklists.
Using its rule base, it uses a wide range of heuristic tests on mail
headers and body text to identify "spam", also known as unsolicited
commercial email.
Once identified, the mail can then be optionally tagged as spam for later
filtering using the user's own mail user-agent application.

The conflict checks compare the patterns first against the package
names without version (as reported by "pkg query "%n"), then - if
there was no match - agsinst the full package names including the
version (as reported by "pkg query "%n-%v").
Many CONFLICTS definitions used patterns like "bash-[0-9]*" to filter
for the bash package in any version. But that pattern is functionally
identical with just "bash".

The reason for this port is due to the following statement in the
spamassassin 3.4.5 announcement:
Ongoing development on the 3.4 branch has ceased. All future releases
and bug fixes will be on the 4.0 series, unless a new security issue
is found that necessitates a 3.4.6 release.
Upstream is the apache/spamassassing github read-only mirror.
