Description alan robinson 2004-01-18 15:30:24 UTC 
I maintain a list of URLS which have been included in spam in the past. 
Currently I use procmail to route emails that match any of these fixed strings 
to a spam file. But really, what would be ideal is if I could change the score 
of a message based on if it matches one of the many fixed strings in an 
external file. 

Ie, I right now I use the following in procmailrc:
 
:0HB:
* ? formail -c | fgrep -sFi -f $HOME/qtrashlist
likelyspambyurl

but instead I'd like to be able to add to my user_prefs file:

rawbody BADURLS eval:matchfile('/usr/me/qtrashlist', 'case-insensitive')

the only way I can think of to implement this would be a foreach/while loop that does a inefficient RE 
match per message, which is definitely not what you want to do.

I would either generate a list of rules based on the strings you want and do it that way, or have the 
faster procmail method add a header via formail or something, and score that in SA.
