Hey folks,
I'm playing around with writing some rules, something I've
never done before. I'm not looking to do anything fancy, I just
wanted to learn how to do it.
So, I picked one of my spams at total random, and wanted to
match on "e-shop.gr" in any of the headers. The rule, I believe,
should look like this:
describe CJB_ESHOP_GR Contains reference to e-shop.gr
header CJB_ESHOP_GR ALL =~ /e-shop\.gr/i
score CJB_ESHOP_GR 0.01
The efficiency and wisdom of matching against any headers aside,
is this correct so far? I'm just thinking simple, I just want to
match the e-shop.gr string.
Assuming that's OK, I moved on to creating the rule. Now, I store
my user preferences in a PostgreSQL database, so this is where I'm
slightly unsure... Can I simply add my rule above to my userprefs
table, one line per row? Like so (pardon the line wrap):
db=> SELECT prefid, username, preference, value FROM userpref WHERE
username = 'me' AND preference LIKE '%CJB%' ORDER BY preference;
prefid | username | preference | value
--------+----------+-----------------------+-----------------------------
450 | me | describe CJB_ESHOP_GR | Contains reference to e-shop.gr
452 | me | header CJB_ESHOP_GR | ALL =~ /e-shop\.gr/i
453 | me | score CJB_ESHOP_GR | 0.01
(3 rows)
Is this the correct way to do it? Or do I *have* to add them to
local.cf or another such local file?
I'm also unsure if I need to restart spamd to pick up on this new
rule, if indeed it can be stored in SQL - my other userprefs do not
need a restart, but rules I'm very unsure about. I tried cat'ing a
sample spam and piping it to spamc (cat sample.txt | spamc), but
it did not hit my test rule. And yes, e-shop.gr shows up in the
Received and From headers. :)
This is SpamAssassin 3.2.5 FYI. Thanks, folks!
Benny
