Spamassassin: To facilitate a community effort with the primary goal

There is SpamAssassin the project and SpamAssassin the software. The
project, under the aegis of the Apache Software Foundation, provides
a framework to support open source software development to deliver an
enterprise-grade, freely available software product for the public benefit.
SpamAssassin, the software, is a mail filter to identify spam. It is
designed for easy integration into any email system. The cost to
develop such a software is estimated to be around US $1.1 million.
