Re: [Declude.JunkMail] declude / spamassassin - topic change

[Nick Hayer]

Anyway, the next version of SPAMC32 is coming out very soon with the


ability  to  consult  a  local  SPAMC32 log file (rather than the main
SPAMD  log  file)  to  check which individual SA rules failed for each
message; this is a definite need.
 


Hi Sandy,

Well since you are working on the code - something that for me would be 
nice  is a modification to your -e switch. What I would like to have 
happen is return the SA weight only after a threshold is met. For 
example with a setting of 5 an email of 4.99 would not be considered 
spam but anything above would and the total score would be passed.  
Hopefully I'm clear on this - I'm trying! Thanks for the consideration.

As for SPAMC32 inserting headers directly, this is technically simple,
but  I  have purposely avoided implementing this functionality because
it  will  add  significant  extra  disk  I/O  to  reread and alter the
original  message,  rather than letting Declude add all of its headers
at  once  when  done  processing. Plus, adding the names of 10, 20, or
more SA rules to the message headers can be pretty sloppy. So, in sum,
header  insertion  will  likely  be  added as an optional command-line
switch,  but  it's  not  as  much  of  a priority as the local logging
function. I will keep the list posted, as always.

I  think  I see your point. If you have the -lt option set, that'll be
the  low  end of what's considered spam, and it's designed to accept a
couple  of decimal places, so you could pass '-lt 4.99'. The -e switch
seems  like  it  could  be  used  concurrently  to pass back the SPAMD
weight, but by design -e will pass the SPAM weight no matter what else
SPAMD  or  SPAMC32  thinks  about the message (-e is designed to allow
SPAMC32  to  function  as a 'weight' type test). So what you're asking
for  is  a switch like -e, but which is more conditional, allowing the
possible result codes:

 -  0,  if  -lt  not  met

 - SPAMD weight, if -lt met and SPAMD weight = -et value

 - -et value, if SPAMD weight  -et value

Sounds like a good option, and I can't think of a way of kludging that
in  one  external  test  instance with the current switches (you could
actually do it with multiple SPAMC32 runs -- don't!). I'll add it in.

Thanks,

Sandy
