I'd like to make two changes to how SpamAssassin behaves: 1) If a message is spam, it should not be modified, but instead be replaced by a multipart/mixed message where the first part is a text/plain containing the SpamAssassin report and the second part is a message/rfc822 containing the original, unmodified message. This facilitates easy reporting to appropriate abuse@ administrators, and allows me to easily deal with the message as if it were normal if, say, I glance through the spam folder and find a false positive.
2) A message in the exact same format should be sent back to the original sender. I realize that most of these will bounce, but that's fine. I want the first text/plain portion to describe why and how it was rejected (with the SpamAssassin report included); I'll also use this to give them a password that they can include in the subject (and to which I would assign a really negative score in SpamAssassin), to ensure delivery if it was, in fact, sent by a human. The second part, again, would be the original, unmodified message/rfc822. So, my question: What's the best way to do this? Should I modify Mail::SpamAssassin and add these two things as options (an option to create new MIME messages rather than modify the existing one, and an option to send a message back to the sender), or should I just create my own Perl script that uses Mail::SpamAssassin in its current form? The latter seems difficult because there's a lot of code in Mail::SpamAssassin specific to the current behavior, but modifying it would really only be ideal out if it was something that I could get included in the main distribution. Or is there some more elegant way? Or should one be added? For example, we could pass a callback procedure to check(), and have check() simply invoke our procedure with all of the gory details after determining what's up with the current mail. Still, I'd have to modify /usr/bin/spamd or just rewrite it to actually do this, which is non-ideal. -jim _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
