Siebel Marketing Installation and Administration Guide > Installing and Configuring Email Marketing > Implementing Spam Scoring of Email Templates Using SpamAssassinThis topic describes how to configure Email Marketing to integrate with SpamAssassin so that users can generate spam scores for email treatment templates before they are used in a campaign. Generating a spam score for an email treatment template allows Siebel Marketing users to assess whether the emails generated using the template are likely to be classified as spam and be rejected by recipient's spam filters. If the email template generates a high spam score, then users can then modify the email template content until it passes the spam scoring test. Siebel Marketing uses Apache SpamAssassin, an open source product released under the Apache License 2.0, to run the spam scoring test. SpamAssassin provides an API for an email sending component, in this case, the Email Sending Daemon, to test an email message against the scoring system and report any potential problems. After spam scoring is enabled, when a user clicks the Verify and Preview button on the email editor to preview an email template message, spam scoring data for the email is displayed, as shown in Figure 8. The user can then manually correct any issues and preview the email template again to re-score the content. Siebel Marketing does not embed Spam Assassin, but the Email Sending Daemon can be connected to a Spam Assassin instance. This involves installing the Spam Assassin application, then configuring the Email Sending Daemon to connect to the SpamAssassin service as described in the following procedure.
