Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Pyzor(3) User Contributed Perl DocumentationMail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Pyzor(3)



NAME
       Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Pyzor - perform Pyzor check of messages

SYNOPSIS
         loadplugin     Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Pyzor

DESCRIPTION
       Pyzor is a collaborative, networked system to detect and block spam using identifying digests of
       messages.

       See http://pyzor.sourceforge.net/ for more information about Pyzor.

USER OPTIONS
       use_pyzor (0|1)          (default: 1)
           Whether to use Pyzor, if it is available.

       pyzor_max NUMBER         (default: 5)
           This option sets how often a message's body checksum must have been reported to the Pyzor server
           before SpamAssassin will consider the Pyzor check as matched.

           As most clients should not be auto-reporting these checksums, you should set this to a relatively
           low value, e.g. 5.

ADMINISTRATOR OPTIONS
       pyzor_timeout n          (default: 3.5)
           How many seconds you wait for Pyzor to complete, before scanning continues without the Pyzor
           results.

           You can configure Pyzor to have its own per-server timeout.  Set this plugin's timeout with that
           in mind.  This plugin's timeout is a maximum ceiling.  If Pyzor takes longer than this to
           complete its communication with all servers, no results are used by SpamAssassin.

           Pyzor servers do not yet synchronize their servers, so it can be beneficial to check and report
           to more than one.  See the pyzor-users mailing list for alternate servers that are not published
           via 'pyzor discover'.

           If you are using multiple Pyzor servers, a good rule of thumb would be to set the SpamAssassin
           plugin's timeout to be the same or just a bit more than the per-server Pyzor timeout (e.g., 3.5
           and 2 for two Pyzor servers).  If more than one of your Pyzor servers is always timing out,
           consider removing one of them.

       pyzor_options options
           Specify additional options to the pyzor(1) command. Please note that only characters in the range
           [0-9A-Za-z ,._/-] are allowed for security reasons.

       pyzor_path STRING
           This option tells SpamAssassin specifically where to find the "pyzor" client instead of relying
           on SpamAssassin to find it in the current PATH.  Note that if taint mode is enabled in the Perl
           interpreter, you should use this, as the current PATH will have been cleared.
