Projects

Currently, I am actively working on the Spamato spam filter project. Spamato is an extensible spam filter framework written in Java. It is published on SourceForge as an GPL-licensed open-source project.

If you want to implement a spam filter, Spamato is a good starting point. Spamato facilitates the development of new spam filter techniques by offering a variety of tools that developers shouldn't bother about. Start writing your filter and do not care about how to integrate it into an email client or how to measure the effectiveness of your filter (compared to others) - Spamato provides the means to make it happen.

If you are a user who wants a multi-faceted, effective, and collaborative approach against spam, here you are: Spamato is available as an add-on for Microsoft Outlook, as an extension for Thunderbird and Mozilla, and as a stand-alone proxy component for all other email clients. Currently, we provide five different spam filters: a Bayesian-based filter, two domain-based filters (thereof one collaborative), a rule-based filter, and a Razor-compatible one. Just give it a try!

More information is available on the homepage of the project.
