The compendium at https://raptor.pccc.com/raptor.cgim?template=3Demail_spam= _compendium is helpful to understand some of the concepts with SpamAssassin It will be helpful for a student in this project to understand SMTP but a w= illingness to learn and setup your own mail server on a Linux Distribution = with SpamAssassin for a personal test domain will be very desired with assi= stance provided to get the basic framework for a sandbox for learning.
