Spamikaze is a collection of programs to easily build a DNSBL, also known as a spam block list.  

== Benefits ==

Unlike some other spam block systems, Spamikaze does no tests for open proxy or open relay vulnerabilities. 

Spamikaze is passive and completely driven by mail coming into a system's spamtrap addresses.  In order to reduce the false positives (depending on your point of view) inherent in such a scheme, Spamikaze uses some regular expressions to weed out obvious non-spam mails.  It can also use whitelists to exclude known mail servers from being listed.

Spamikaze is free software, available under the GPL.

If you plan to run a spam block list, Spamikaze should make your life easier.

== Status ==

Spamikaze development happens slowly and the git head is quite stable. It is recommended that people use Spamikaze's latest version directly from the [[https://github.com/rikvanriel/spamikaze|GitHub repository]].

A number of [[SpamikazeLists|DNSBLs]] use Spamikaze in production. 

== Basic requirements ==

Spamikaze runs on:
  * a Unix-like system, with
  * perl,
  * a database,
  * a mail server (to receive spam) and
  * a web server (for the removal system).

Spamikaze is designed to be easily customizable and extensible.
The various components of a Spamikaze setup do not need to run on the same computer.
