About:
Bogofilter is a Bayesian spam filter that uses statistical analysis to classify emails as spam or ham. It calculates a probability score based on the occurrence of tokens in known good and bad messages. This tool integrates with mail delivery agents to provide efficient, local filtering without relying on external services.
Key Features:
  • Bayesian statistical filtering
  • Fast tokenization and scoring
  • Flexible integration with MTAs
  • Database training and maintenance utilities
Use Cases:
  • Server-side spam filtering for Postfix or Sendmail
  • Local mail filtering for individual user accounts
  • Automated email processing pipelines
Alternatives:
  • SpamAssassin – More feature-rich with network tests and rules, but heavier resource footprint
  • rspamd – Modern, high-performance filter with built-in proxy and web UI
