Fight Image Spam With FuzzyOCR And SpamAssassin On Debian Lenny
This tutorial describes how to scan emails for image spam with FuzzyOCR on a Debian
Lenny server. FuzzyOCR is a plugin for SpamAssassin which is aimed at
unsolicited bulk mail containing images as the main content carrier.
Using different methods, it analyzes the content and properties of
images to distinguish between normal mails (ham) and spam mails.
FuzzyOCR tries to keep the system load low by scanning only mails that
have not already been categorized as spam by SpamAssassin, thus avoiding
unnecessary work.
