This tutorial describes how to scan emails for image spam with FuzzyOCR on a Fedora 12 server. FuzzyOCR is a plugin for SpamAssassin which is aimed at unsolicited bulk mail containing images as the main content carrier. Using different methods, it analyzes the content and properties of images to distinguish between normal mails (ham) and spam mails.
