PHP plugin to calculate spam assassin spam score?

Question

I have spam assassin on my hosting server. Is there any way to plug into it and calculate the spam score of an e-mail, before it is sent out? Preferably not invoking spam assassin directly.

Answer 1

I don't know about SpamAssassin but one generally used spam detector is Akismet and PhisTank for phishing.

Answer 2

Here's a client library for the Spamd protocol: http://ppadron.blog.br/2010/05/04/php-api-to-spamassassin-spamd-protocol/
