What's the url to the manuals?
They're installed along with procmail; if you can logon (SSH, or the from
secure telnet) then just write "man procmail", "man procmailrc" and/or "man
procmailex"; or use these URLs:
<URL: http://www.hmug.org/man/5/procmailex.html >
<URL: http://www.hmug.org/man/1/procmail.html >
<URL: http://www.hmug.org/man/5/procmailrc.html >
There are links to FAQs at <URL: http://www.procmail.org/ >.
I'd be hooking up to a mysql database; basically this would be an
internal database of message signatures, and I'd need to check the
database for a matching signature.
Well... the problem with your solution is that you either need to make the
whole thing fuzzy, or trust the sender to not try to avoid what you're doing.
If you trust the sender (which more or less means that you're not trying to
catch spam) then you could use this (taken from the procmailex-page), which is
based on the message-id:
:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D 8192 msgid.cache
OTOH, if you don't trust the sender, then you're stepping into a war between
spammers and, more or less, everyone else, that's been going on for some time
already; so you might want to use an existing solution, like DCC:
<URL: http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/ >
(If you just want to use this matching locally, then just set up your own DCC-
server, instead of just using the client.)
