+spamassassin - perl e-mail filter to identify spam
+
+Spamassassin is an intelligent email filter which uses a diverse range
+of tests to identify unsolicited bulk email, more commonly known as Spam. 
+These tests are applied to email headers and content to classify email using 
+advanced statistical methods.  It has a modular architecture that allows 
+other technologies to be quickly wielded against spam and is designed for 
+easy integration into virtually any email system.
+
+spamassassin requires:
+- for basic functions, perl-digest-sha1, perl-net-dns and perl-html-parser. 
+- for sa-compile (to compile regex into c code): re2c.
+- for sa-update (to update spamassassin rules): libwww-perl.
+All required packages are available from SlackBuilds.org.
+
+For advanced functions it may rely on other (optional) perl modules.
