Tools to create a Spam Checker Service in Java or Python

Question

Let's say I want to create a reusable REST web service that allows checking whether a piece of text/ blog comment is spam, once for all. (sick of adding this feature in every web app I work on)

Which tools, libraries, frameworks, that would nicely integrate to either Java or Python, would you recommend to accomplish this ?

Thanks

Answer 1

Did you look at RECAPTCHA? Do you want to build something from scratch? or can you use an exisiting tool like this one?

Another one that comes to my mind is UCLASSIFY, it is a free web service where you can easily create your own text classifiers.
