Addition of Another Spam filter to Amavis

[ashish behl]

Hello All,

Please let me know if anyone can suggest any options for adding a new spam filter to amavis.
I have for now achieved this by writing a new module, extending from package Amavis::SpamControl and implementing method check, on the same lines as spamassassin.


Regards,
Ashish

Hello All,

I was trying to add another spam filter to Amavis, using @spam_scanners array defined in amavisd-new code.

But, I soon realised reading Amavis code that Amavis has support only for the 4 Spam filters (SpamAssassin, DSPAM, CRM114, Bogofilter).
package Amavis::SpamControl::ExtProg; sub check_or_learn only supports the above mentioned filters by reading specific headers.

Please let me know if I am right? Is there another way to add a new spam filter support to amavis?

Regards,

Ashish

It is relatively easy to add another spam filter.
A few years ago I did basically a cut-and-paste of the SpamAssassin code to
make the Bogofilter support.

The gotcha in the present setup is that you have to select a filter in the
Amavis code. It cannot be done via the config file.
This means that updates overwrite your selection.
