NAME
       PublicInbox::SaPlugin::ListMirror - SpamAssassin plugin for mailing
       list mirrors

SYNOPSIS
         loadplugin PublicInbox::SaPlugin::ListMirror

       Declare some mailing lists based on the expected List-Id value,
       expected servers, and mailing list address:

         list_mirror List-Id <foo.example.com> *.example.com foo@example.com
         list_mirror List-Id <bar.example.com> *.example.com bar@example.com

       Bump the score for messages which come from unexpected servers:

         header LIST_MIRROR_RECEIVED eval:check_list_mirror_received()
         describe LIST_MIRROR_RECEIVED Received does not match expected
         score LIST_MIRROR_RECEIVED 10

       Bump the score for messages which Bcc the list:

         header LIST_MIRROR_BCC eval:check_list_mirror_bcc()
         describe LIST_MIRROR_BCC Mailing list was Bcc-ed
         score LIST_MIRROR_BCC 5

DESCRIPTION
       This plugin contains common functions to provide accurate, ongoing
       mirrors of existing mailing lists.  It may be used independently of the
       rest of public-inbox, it does not depend on any public-inbox code, only
       SpamAssassin.

ADMINISTRATOR SETTINGS
       This plugin has no administrator settings, aside from the need to load
       it via "loadplugin" and enabling user rules "allow_user_rules 1"

USER SETTINGS
       list_mirror HEADER HEADER_VALUE HOSTNAME_GLOB [LIST_ADDRESS]
           Declare a list based on an expected "HEADER" matching "HEADER_NAME"
           exactly coming from "HOSTNAME_GLOB".  "LIST_ADDRESS" is optional,
           but may specify the address of the mailing list being mirrored.

           "List-Id" or "X-Mailing-List" are common values of "HEADER"

           An example of "HEADER_VALUE" is "<foo.example.org>" if "HEADER" is
           "List-Id".

           "HOSTNAME_GLOB" may be a wildcard match for machines where mail can
           come from or an exact match.

           "LIST_ADDRESS" is only required if using the
           "check_list_mirror_bcc" eval rule

           "list_mirror" may be specified multiple times.

EVAL FUNCTIONS
       header LIST_MIRROR_RECEIVED eval:check_list_mirror_received()
           The "check_list_mirror_received" function implements "Received:"
           header checking based on "list_mirror" configuration values.

           This rule can be used to score and prevent messages from being
           injected directly into your mirror without going through the
           expected mailing list servers:

             ifplugin PublicInbox::SaPlugin::ListMirror
               header LIST_MIRROR_RECEIVED eval:check_list_mirror_received()
               describe LIST_MIRROR_RECEIVED Received does not match expected
             endif

       header LIST_MIRROR_BCC eval:check_list_mirror_bcc()
           The "check_list_mirror_bcc" function checks for Bcc to mailing
           lists declared with a "LIST_ADDRESS" via "list_mirror"

           Spammers will often Bcc mailing lists; while it's uncommon and
           strange for valid messages to be Bcc-ed to any public mailing list.
           This rule allows users to assign a score to Bcc-ed messages

             ifplugin PublicInbox::SaPlugin::ListMirror
               header LIST_MIRROR_BCC eval:check_list_mirror_bcc()
               describe LIST_MIRROR_BCC Mailing list was Bcc-ed
             endif
