The "email plugin" opens an UNIX-socket over which one can submit email statistics, such as the number of "ham", "spam", "virus", etc. mails received/handled, spam scores and matched spam checks.
This plugin is intended to be used with the Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Collectd SpamAssassin-plugin which is included in contrib/, but is of course not limited to that use.
This plugin collects data indirectly by providing a UNIX-socket that external programs can connect to. A simple line based protocol is used to communicate with the plugin:
e:<type>:<size>
If "size" is less than or equal to zero, "size" is ignored.
s:<value>
c:<type1>[,<type2>,...]
Each line is limited to 256 characters (including the newline character). Longer lines will be ignored.
