NAME
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Karmasphere - Query the Karmasphere reputation system
SYNOPSIS
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Karmasphere
karma KARMA_CONNECT_0_10 connect 0 10
score KARMA_CONNECT_0_10 0.1DESCRIPTION
The Karmasphere reputation service is a real-time reputation service for identities. The aim of this plugin is to detect identities used by spammers and phishers, and thus detect zero-day spam runs and phishing scams.
This plugin performs lookups against the Karmasphere reputation service. Two lookups are performed: One on the connect-time identities (client-ip, helo-address and envelope-from) and one on any identities found in the body of the message. Of these, the first is relatively trustworthy, since it works (where possible) with authenticated identities. The second works with unathenticated identities, but should still trap URLs used by spammers and phishing sites.
