Hi folks,
I've been getting a bit of spam lately that is slipping easily past my
SpamAssassin - mostly "work from home" stuff that is just plain text and a
single URL which uses a URL shortening service, and it doesn't hit on much.
I've tried to add the DecodeShortURLs plugin (from
http://www.fsl.com/support/DecodeShortURLs.pm and
http://www.fsl.com/support/DecodeShortURLs.cf) which I think/hope will help
a lot with detecting the spammy URLs.
However, when I tried to impliment this plugin, I discovered that it
requires the Sys::Syslog module, and I don't have that module included on my
system. The reason is that I'm running SpamAssassin on Windows, as part of
the Windows-based MDaemon mail server. And I guess the MDaemon developers
didn't include the Syslog module as it's obviously not a required module for
Windows usage (at least not with their implimentation of SpamAssassin).
So my question is this: is there any way I can get the DecodeShortURLs
plugin working without the Syslog module requirement? Eg. can I get this
plugin to only view Syslog as an optional and not mandatory prerequisite? I
certainly don't need the Syslog functionality of this plugin, and the plugin
itself allows me to "turn off" Syslog logging by adding
"url_shortener_syslog 0" to the .cf file. Yet it seems to still require the
Syslog module in order to work (otherwise I get errors when I run a lint
check).
Any suggestions??
Thanks!
