Just a reminder: we've got SoCoSA meeting on Wednesday at Sonic's offices.

http://socosa.org/meeting/2006/03

Meeting: Fighting Spam
Start:   2006-03-01 18:00
End:     2006-03-01 20:30
Topic:   Enterprise Spam Filtering Using Open Source Tools
Speaker: Mark Linford of Santa Rosa Junior College

Anyone with an email address is well aware of the problem of spam, or
unsolicited bulk email. Though there are many commercial applications
available to help enterprises cope with spam, their cost usually puts them
out of reach of all but the largest corporations.

Mark Linford of Santa Rosa Junior College will discuss how their campus used
off-the-shelf computer components and SpamAssassin [1] (a popular
open-source spam prevention system) to deliver commercial-quality spam
filtering at a fraction of the cost.

In addition to the basics of SpamAssassin, Mark will discuss:

    * Using the Spam Assassin Rules Emporium (SARE) [2] to enhance spam
      detection
    * Using a single server to control spam filtering for an entire network
    * Implementing Bayesian Filtering [3] site-wide

Show up promptly at 6pm if you're interested in pizza. Feel free to bring
your own food.

Speaker starts at 7pm, so try to show up around 6:45pm if you're not
interested in food.

Location:
    Sonic.net, Inc.; the kitchen around back
    2260 Apollo Way
