Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation NAME Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup - spam fighting related header fields INHERITANCE Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup is a Mail::Message::Head::FieldGroup is a Mail::Reporter SYNOPSIS my $sg = Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup->new(head => $head, ...); $head->addSpamGroup($sg); my $sg = $head->addSpamGroup( ); $sg->delete; my @sgs = $head->spamGroups; DESCRIPTION A spam group is a set of header fields which are added by spam detection and spam fighting software. This class knows various details about that software. Extends "DESCRIPTION" in Mail::Message::Head::FieldGroup. METHODS Extends "METHODS" in Mail::Message::Head::FieldGroup. Constructors Extends "Constructors" in Mail::Message::Head::FieldGroup. $obj->clone() Inherited, see "Constructors" in Mail::Message::Head::FieldGroup $any->fighter($name, %options) Get the settings of a certain spam-fighter, optionally after setting them. The knownFighters() method returns the defined names. The names are case-sensitive. The %options are all passed as settings to the spamfilter, except the few which are listed here specifically. -Option --Default fields isspam version undef fields => REGEXP The regular expression which indicates which of the header fields are added by the spam fighter software. isspam => CODE The CODE must return "true" or "false", to indicate whether the spam fighter thinks that the message contains spam. The CODE ref is called with the spamgroup object (under construction) and the header which is inspected. version => CODE Can be called to collect the official name and the version of the software which is used to detect spam. The CODE ref is called with the spamgroup object (under construction) and the header which is inspected. >> example: adding your own spam-fighter definitions Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup->fighter( 'MY-OWN', fields => qw/^x-MY-SPAM-DETECTOR-/, isspam => sub { my ($sg, $head) = @_; $head->fields > 100 }, ); $obj->from($head|$message, %options) Returns a list of "Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup" objects, based on the specified $message or message $head. Improves base, see "Constructors" in Mail::Message::Head::FieldGroup -Option--Default types undef types => ARRAY-OF-NAMES Only the specified types will be tried. If the ARRAY is empty, an empty list is returned. Without this option, all sets are returned. $any->habeasSweFieldsCorrect( [$message|$head] ) Returns a "true" value if the $message or $head contains "Habeas-SWE" fields which are correct. Without argument, this is used as instance method on an existing Spam-Group. >> example: checking Habeas-SWE fields if(Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup->habeasSweFieldsCorrect($message)) { $message->label(spam => 0); } my $sg = $message->head->spamGroups('Habeas-SWE'); if($sg->habeasSweFieldsCorrect) { ... }; use List::Util 'first'; if(first {$_->habeasSweFieldsCorrect} $head->spamGroups) { ... } $any->implementedTypes() Inherited, see "Constructors" in Mail::Message::Head::FieldGroup $any->isSpamGroupFieldName($name) $any->knownFighters() Returns an unsorted list of all names representing pre-defined spam-fighter software. You can ask details about them, and register more fighters with the fighter() method. $class->new($fields, %options) Construct an object which maintains one set of fields which were added by spam fighting software. Improves base, see "Constructors" in Mail::Message::Head::FieldGroup -Option --Defined in --Default head Mail::Message::Head::FieldGroup undef software Mail::Message::Head::FieldGroup undef type Mail::Message::Head::FieldGroup undef version Mail::Message::Head::FieldGroup undef head => $head software => STRING type => STRING version => STRING $obj->spamDetected( [BOOLEAN] ) Returns (after setting) whether this group of spam headers thinks that this is spam. See Mail::Message::Head::Complete::spamDetected(). >> example: die if $head->spamDetected; foreach my $sg ($head->spamGroups) { print $sg->type." found spam\n" if $sg->spamDetected; } Attributes Extends "Attributes" in Mail::Message::Head::FieldGroup.

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.
