5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Anti-Spam Guide., 2 Jan 2005
By Stu Batty (Scotland) - See all my reviews
Spam has increasingly become a menace to all e-mail users in both personal an business terms. SpamAssassin is a free, open-source product which can be used to control and fight the effects of Spam reducing its negative effects.

This book is a wise investment for anyone that wishes to fully understand the SpamAssassin product. It provides a vast array of information in a clear and succinct manner. The book is well indexed making it easy to use as a reference manual for more experienced users. It also provides comprehensive background information so would be a useful guide for beginner users. I found the chapters on 'Housekeeping and Reporting' and 'Bayesian Filtering' particularly useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent thorough coverage of dealing with Spam, 3 Oct 2005
By Jamie O'Shaughnessy (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a highly recommended book on dealing with Spam, either from the point of view of your own home system or a whole corporate email system, using Spamassassin. It is very well written, clear and accurate. Far better than the O'Reilly book on the same subject. If you want to reduce spam, get this book and follow the excellent advice.
