NAME
Mail::SpamAssassin::PersistentAddrList - persistent address list base
class
SYNOPSIS
my $factory = PersistentAddrListSubclass->new();
$spamtest->set_persistent_addr_list_factory ($factory);
... call into SpamAssassin classes...
SpamAssassin will call:
my $addrlist = $factory->new_checker($spamtest);
$entry = $addrlist->get_addr_entry ($addr);
...
DESCRIPTION
All persistent address list implementations, used by the auto-whitelist
code to track known-good email addresses, use this as a base class.
See "Mail::SpamAssassin::DBBasedAddrList" for an example.
METHODS
$factory = PersistentAddrListSubclass->new();
This creates a factory object, which SpamAssassin will call to
create a new checker object for the persistent address list.
my $addrlist = $factory->new_checker();
Create a new address-list checker object from the factory. Called
by the SpamAssassin classes.
$entry = $addrlist->get_addr_entry ($addr);
Given an email address $addr, return an entry object with the
details of that address.
The entry object is a reference to a hash, which must contain at
least two keys: "count", which is the count of times that address
has been encountered before; and "totscore", which is the total of
all scores for messages associated with that address. From these
two fields, an average score will be calculated, and the score for
the current message will be regressed towards that mean message
score.
The hash can contain whatever other data your back-end needs to
store, under other keys.
The method should never return "undef", or a hash that does not
contain a "count" key and a "totscore" key.
$entry = $addrlist->add_score($entry, $score);
This method should add the given score to the whitelist database
for the given entry, and then return the new entry.
$entry = $addrlist->remove_entry ($entry);
This method should remove the given entry from the whitelist
database.
$entry = $addrlist->finish ();
Clean up, if necessary. Called by SpamAssassin when it has
finished checking, or adding to, the auto-whitelist database.
