Spam means "unsollicited e-mail", and is as name derived from a Monty Python scatch. Although Monty Python is fun, spam is a pain: it needlessly spoils minutes of time from most people: telephone bills, overful mailboxes which block honest e-mail, and accidentally removal of honest e-mail which looks like spam. Spam is the pest of Internet.

Happily, Mail::Box can be used as spam filter, in combination with the useful Mail::SpamAssassin module (which must be installed separately). Each message which is searched is wrapped in a Mail::Message::Wrapper::SpamAssassin object.

The spam-assassin module version 2 is not really well adapted for Mail::Message objects, which will make this search even slower than spam-detection already is.

Extends "DESCRIPTION" in Mail::Box::Search.

Extends "METHODS" in Mail::Box::Search.

Extends "Constructors" in Mail::Box::Search.

Create a spam filter. Internally, a Mail::SpamAssassin object is maintained.

Only the whole message can be searched; this is a limitation of the Mail::SpamAssassin module.

Mark all selected message with the specified STRING. If this option is explicitly set to "undef", the label will not be set.
Add lines to the message header describing the results of the spam scan. See Mail::SpamAssassin::PerMsgStatus subroutine rewrite_mail.
Options to create the internal Mail::SpamAssassin object; see its manual page for the available options. Other setting may be provided via SpamAssassins configuration file mechanism, which is explained in Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf.
Provide a Mail::SpamAssassin object to be used for searching spam. If none is specified, one is created internally. The object can be retrieved with assassinator().

example:

 my $filter = Mail::Box::Search::SpamAssassin
               ->new( found => 'DELETE' );

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.
