Mail::SpamAssassin::PerMsgStatus has a `$score = $status->get_body_only_points()` method. That should do just what you are looking for. CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James	[reply] [d/l]

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I have installed the SA-3.2.4 and found the PerMsgStatus module also. I do not know, how to optimizing the perl modules. Here I need to call only the object-get_body_only_points(). Please help me. Thanks Geetha	[reply]

Did you read the documentation for this module? The synopsis has a comprehensive example. `my $spamtest = Mail::SpamAssassin->new(); my $mail = $spamtest->parse($message); my $status = $spamtest->check($mail); my $score = $status->get_body_only_points();` [download] CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout.

You can use SA, parse the result and ignore all header-related scores. SA gives you a detailed list about which checks identified a message as spam.	[reply]

Hopefully, most people are using the bayes system in the spamassassin these days (or just gmail); so, hopefully your "newsletter" gets filtered properly anyway. UPDATE: I'm sad that I used the word twice like that. I'm also sad that the state of email today means that a high percentage of legitimate mail is blocked in the effort to block spam. However, I do find it rather unlikely that a legitimate mailing would need to spend so much time tweaking the scores. If it does, then the spamassassin isn't doing the job it promised — so perhaps it is doint it's job. -Paul	[reply]

You clearly have not had to deal with your legitimate bulk email not reaching the hopefully¹ waiting recipients. ¹Sorry; I'd have liked to have balanced things out, but couldn't manage to use the word correctly twice in the same sentence. -- Online Fortune Cookie Search	[reply]
