phpCF is a content filter written in PHP (surprise!). It’s designed to distinguish spam from ham in various contexts, such as blog comments, forums posts and the like.

It works, like SpamAssassin, by assigning points for various things, such as lots of HTML usage, references to online gambling/poker, medicine offers and such. Furthermore it can take a look at an email address associated with the post and try to guess whether or not it is a typical “spammer email address”. New rules are added often and you’re very welcome to let me know if you think I’ve missed something.

Update: As of version 0.3 phpCF is able to lookup the IP address of the poster in the blacklist at Lillesvin Networks. (See blacklist: text/plain, text/xml.)

Note: phpCF is at version 0.3 and still beta-software - it’s not very mature yet, but it kept my old blog clean.
