SYNOPSIS

  use Mail::Box::Manager;
  my $mgr    = Mail::Box::Manager->new;
  my $folder = $mgr->open('Inbox');
 
  my $spam = Mail::Box::Search::SpamAssassin->new;
  if($spam->search($message)) {...}
 
  my @msgs   = $filter->search($folder);
  foreach my $msg ($folder->messages)
  {   $msg->delete if $msg->label('spam');
  }
 
  my $spam2 = Mail::Box::Search::SpamAssassin
                ->new(deliver => 'DELETE');
  $spam2->search($folder);
  $mgr->moveMessages($spamfolder, $folder->messages('spam'));
 
 

DESCRIPTION

Spam means ``unsollicited e-mail'', and is as name derived from a Monty Python scatch. Although Monty Python is fun, spam is a pain: it needlessly spoils minutes of time from most people: telephone bills, overful mailboxes which block honest e-mail, and accidentally removal of honest e-mail which looks like spam. Spam is the pest of Internet.

Happily, Mail::Box can be used as spam filter, in combination with the useful Mail::SpamAssassin module (which must be installed separately). Each message which is searched is wrapped in a Mail::Message::Wrapper::SpamAssassin object.

The spam-assassin module version 2 is not really well adapted for Mail::Message objects, which will make this search even slower than spam-detection already is.

METHODS

Constructors

Mail::Box::Search::SpamAssassin->new(OPTIONS)
Create a spam filter. Internally, a Mail::SpamAssassin object is maintained.
Only the whole message can be searched; this is a limitation of the Mail::SpamAssassin module.
  Option       --Defined in     --Default
  binaries       Mail::Box::Search  <false>
  decode         Mail::Box::Search  <true>
  delayed        Mail::Box::Search  <true>
  deleted        Mail::Box::Search  <false>
  deliver        Mail::Box::Search  undef
  in             Mail::Box::Search  'MESSAGE'
  label                           c<'spam'>
  limit          Mail::Box::Search  0

. binaries => BOOLEAN

. decode => BOOLEAN

. delayed => BOOLEAN

. deleted => BOOLEAN

. deliver => undef|CODE|'DELETE'

. in => 'HEAD'|'BODY'|'MESSAGE'

. label => STRING|undef

Mark all selected message with the specified STRING. If this option is explicitly set to "undef", the label will not be set.

. limit => NUMBER
. log => LEVEL
. logical => 'REPLACE'|'AND'|'OR'|'NOT'|'AND NOT'|'OR NOT'
. multiparts => BOOLEAN
. rewrite_mail => BOOLEAN
Add lines to the message header describing the results of the spam scan. See Mail::SpamAssassin::PerMsgStatus subroutine rewrite_mail.

. sa_options => HASH
Options to create the internal Mail::SpamAssassin object; see its manual page for the available options. Other setting may be provided via SpamAssassins configuration file mechanism, which is explained in Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf.

. spam_assassin => OBJECT
Provide a Mail::SpamAssassin object to be used for searching spam. If none is specified, one is created internally. The object can be retreived with assassinator().

. trace => LEVEL
example:
  my $filter = Mail::Box::Search::SpamAssassin
                ->new( found => 'DELETE' );

DIAGNOSTICS

Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author of the package.
