Thanks again.
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.
This actually is for spam, but it is intended to be an additional local
database of signatures. I already use Razor and SpamAssassin but wanted
to have something locally as well. I understand the need for the fuzzy
logic, but for the moment I just want to run some tests.
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.)
Hmmm does DCC take a complete message, which could be sent to it via procmail?
Thanks again
Ricardo
