--------------------------------------
Hello, I would like to work on this project for GSoC. Can you help me get
started?
> GSOC 2018 SpamAssassin Improve Headers for RBL research
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COMDEV-267
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-267
> Project: Community Development
> Issue Type: Project
> Components: GSoC/Mentoring ideas
> Reporter: Kevin A. McGrail
> Priority: Major
> Labels: gsoc2018
>
> add subtests to headers for SA for logging / research purposes
> parse out URIs from $report _URIDOMAINS(,)_ list
> add_header all Status _YESNO_, score=_SCORE_ required=_REQD_ tests=_TESTS_
> subtests=_SUBTESTS_ autolearn=_AUTOLEARN_ version=_VERSION_
> logic such as a tflag describe an RBL and then have rbls=_RBLS_. So every
> rbl test for PCCC will have a tflag that gives it a name like PCCC even if I
> have 20 tests. Same for URIBL or SURBL or SpamHause. So the
> rbls=PCCC,SURBL,URIBL as an overarching hit about which RBL hit.
> With this we can better identify overlap of RBLs.
> Also, it appears that URIDOMAINS(,)_ is not being interpolated in report
> body.
>
> Apache SpamAssassin is a mail filter to identify spam. It is an intelligent
> email filter which uses a diverse range of tests to identify unsolicited bulk
> email, more commonly known as Spam. These tests are applied to email headers
> and content to classify email using advanced statistical methods.
> In addition, SpamAssassin has a modular architecture that allows other
> technologies to be quickly wielded against spam and is designed for easy
> integration into virtually any email system.
> It is primarily written in Perl with a few bits in C and shell scripts for
> system integration.
> The compendium at
> https://raptor.pccc.com/raptor.cgim?template=email_spam_compendium is helpful
> to understand some of the concepts with SpamAssassin
> It will be helpful for a student in this project to understand SMTP but a
> willingness to learn and setup your own mail server on a Linux Distribution
> with SpamAssassin for a personal test domain will be very desired with
> assistance provided to get the basic framework for a sandbox for learning.
> As email becomes more commodotized by major providers, knowledge of email
> systems and their security is dwindling. This opportunity can provide
> real-world experience with an email security product that is employed by
> countless commercial systems in the world.
