.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Mail::SpamAssassin::Client is a module which provides a perl implementation of
the spamd protocol.
.SH "PUBLIC METHODS"
.IX Header "PUBLIC METHODS"
.SS "new"
.IX Subsection "new"
public class (Mail::SpamAssassin::Client) new (\e% \f(CW$args\fR)
.PP
Description:
This method creates a new Mail::SpamAssassin::Client object.
.SS "process"
.IX Subsection "process"
public instance (\e%) process (String \f(CW$msg\fR)
.PP
Description:
This method calls the spamd server with the \s-1PROCESS\s0 command.
.PP
The return value is a hash reference containing several pieces of information,
if available:
.PP
content_length
.PP
isspam
.PP
score
.PP
threshold
.PP
message
.SS "check"
.IX Subsection "check"
public instance (\e%) check (String \f(CW$msg\fR)
.PP
Description:
The method implements the check call.
.PP
See the process method for the return value.
.SS "headers"
.IX Subsection "headers"
public instance (\e%) headers (String \f(CW$msg\fR)
.PP
Description:
This method implements the headers call.
.PP
See the process method for the return value.
.SS "learn"
.IX Subsection "learn"
public instance (Boolean) learn (String \f(CW$msg\fR, Integer \f(CW$learntype\fR)
.PP
Description:
This method implements the learn call.  \f(CW$learntype\fR should be
an integer, 0 for spam, 1 for ham and 2 for forget.  The return
value is a boolean indicating if the message was learned or not.
.PP
An undef return value indicates that there was an error and you
should check the resp_code/resp_msg values to determine what
the error was.
.SS "report"
.IX Subsection "report"
public instance (Boolean) report (String \f(CW$msg\fR)
.PP
Description:
This method provides the report interface to spamd.
.SS "revoke"
.IX Subsection "revoke"
public instance (Boolean) revoke (String \f(CW$msg\fR)
.PP
Description:
This method provides the revoke interface to spamd.
.SS "ping"
.IX Subsection "ping"
public instance (Boolean) ping ()
.PP
Description:
This method performs a server ping and returns 0 or 1 depending on
if the server responded correctly.
.SH "PRIVATE METHODS"
.IX Header "PRIVATE METHODS"
.SS "_create_connection"
.IX Subsection "_create_connection"
private instance (IO::Socket) _create_connection ()
.PP
Description:
This method sets up a proper IO::Socket connection based on the arguments
used when creating the client object.
.PP
On failure, it sets an internal error code and returns undef.
.SS "_parse_response_line"
.IX Subsection "_parse_response_line"
private instance (@) _parse_response_line (String \f(CW$line\fR)
.PP
Description:
This method parses the initial response line/header from the server
and returns its parts.
.PP
We have this as a separate method in case we ever decide to get fancy
with the response line.
.SS "_clear_errors"
.IX Subsection "_clear_errors"
private instance () _clear_errors ()
.PP
Description:
This method clears out any current errors.
.SS "_filter"
.IX Subsection "_filter"
private instance (\e%) _filter (String \f(CW$msg\fR, String \f(CW$command\fR)
.PP
Description:
Makes the actual call to the spamd server for the various filter method
(ie \s-1PROCESS, CHECK, HEADERS,\s0 etc).  The command that is passed in is
sent to the spamd server.
.PP
The return value is a hash reference containing several pieces of information,
if available:
.PP
