“I think spam filtering is now a critical part of the network infrastructure and Spam Assassin is a leader in the area,” said Daniel Quinlan, chairman of the Apache Spam Assassin Project Management Committee. “So, I think we bring another well-regarded project with a very large installed base into the ASF. Not to mention that as of earlier this week, the ASF is now running Spam Assassin on our mail servers,” he told internetnews.com.”
