spamc

Client for SpamAssassin spam filtering daemon

spamc is the client to communicate with spamd, the daemonized form of SpamAssassin (see the spamassassin package). It is written in C for maximum speed and minimum loading overhead. spamc is quite useful for integrating spamassassin into an MTA or into a .procmailrc file because of its speed. This package is useless unless you have spamassassin installed, either on this machine or another local machine (i.e. a mail server).

spamassassin

Perl-based spam filter using text analysis

SpamAssassin is a very powerful and fully configurable spam filter with numerous features including automatic white-listing, RBL testing, Bayesian analysis, header and body text analysis. It is designed to be called from a user's .procmail or .forward file, but can also be integrated into a Mail Transport Agent (MTA). Included in this package is a daemonized form of spamassassin (spamd) which communicates with its client (spamc) via TCP, to reduce the overhead of loading perl with each message. To take advantage of this, you must install the spamc package.

Installation of latest spamc command is available for Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Kali, CentOS, Fedora and Raspbian. You can copy the command for your OS from above and paste it into your terminal. Once you run the command it will download the 2026 latest package from the repository and install it in your computer/server.
