E.F.A (Which stands for Email Filter Appliance) is an (virtual) appliance for spam fighting using opensource tools. The project combines existing open-source projects into a single virtual machine and attemtps to provide a free community-supported spam filter which aims to be effective against spam filtering and easy to use for its admins. The E.F.A. virtual machine is based on CentOS and is available for Hyper-V or VMware. == History == In 2010 the free to use ESVA spam filter appliance project died,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ESVA Website )〕 the websites went offline and the community had no central place for communication anymore. The authors of the E.F.A. project started the esvacommunity website〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=the new home for ESVA )〕 as an attempt to bring the project back to live. As there was no contact between the community and the original author of the ESVA project, and it was unknown if the ESVA name could be used any longer the E.F.A. project was created in 2012 after the previous ESVA project seemed to contain security issues.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ESVA Security issue )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ESVA Security issue )〕 The esvacommunity websites and forums were dropped in favor for E.F.A. Project in 2014. The initial idea was to use a completely different setup than ESVA, this resulted in E.F.A. 0.2 as the first public release. E.F.A. 0.2 was based on Debian for the Operating system, Exim for the Mail Transport Agent and Baruwa as the web interface, some additional features were added in E.F.A. 0.3 which was released in January 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=E.F.A. Project chooses Baruwa for its web interface )〕 Baruwa stopped with the 1.x branch and moved over to Baruwa 2.x, an attempt was made to rebuild E.F.A. based on Baruwa 2.x but after testing and a few beta releases the decision was made to move over to a more ‘ESVA’ way, as most users got comfortable with MailWatch and preferred the MailWatch interface over Baruwa. In January 2014 the first release of E.F.A. 3.x was released based on CentOS for the Operating system, Postfix for the Mail Transport Agent and MailWatch as the web interface.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=E.F.A.
