# Mail::Box::Search::SpamAssassin - phpMan

## NAME
    [Mail::Box::Search::SpamAssassin] - select spam messages with
    [Mail::SpamAssassin]

## INHERITANCE
     [Mail::Box::Search::SpamAssassin]
       is a [Mail::Box::Search]
       is a [Mail::Reporter]

## 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.

    [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.

        deleted => BOOLEAN
        deliver => undef|CODE|'DELETE'
        in => 'HEAD'|'BODY'|'MESSAGE'

        multiparts => 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
          retrieved with assassinator().

        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.
