Mail::SpamAssassin::ArUsereContributed PMail::SpamAssassin::ArchiveIterator(3)



NAME
       Mail::SpamAssassin::ArchiveIterator - find and process messages one at
       a time

SYNOPSIS
         my $iter = new Mail::SpamAssassin::ArchiveIterator(
           {
             'opt_j'     => 0,
             'opt_n'     => 1,
             'opt_all'   => 1,
             'opt_cache' => 1,
           }
         );

         $iter->set_functions( \&wanted, sub { } );

         eval { $iter->run(@ARGV); };

         sub wanted {
           my($class, $filename, $recv_date, $msg_array) = @_;

           ...
         }

DESCRIPTION
       The Mail::SpamAssassin::ArchiveIterator module will go through a set of
       mbox files, mbx files, and directories (with a single message per file)
       and generate a list of messages.  It will then call the wanted and
       results functions appropriately per message.

METHODS
       $item = new Mail::SpamAssassin::ArchiveIterator( [ { opt => val, ... }
       ] )
           Constructs a new "Mail::SpamAssassin::ArchiveIterator" object.  You
           may pass the following attribute-value pairs to the constructor.
           The pairs are optional unless otherwise noted.

           opt_all
               Typically messages over 250k are skipped by ArchiveIterator.
               Use this option to keep from skipping messages based on size.

           opt_j (required)
               Specifies how many messages should be run at the same time, as
               well as the method with which to scan for the messages.

               If the value is 0, the list of messages to process will be kept
               in memory, and only 1 message at a time will be processed by
               the wanted subroutine.  Restarting is not allowed.

               If the value is 1, the list of messages to process will be kept
               in a temporary file, and only 1 message at a time will be pro-
               cessed by the wanted subroutine.  Restarting is not allowed.

               If the value is 2 or higher, the list of messages to process
               will be kept in a temporary file, and the process will split
               into a parent/child mode.  The option value number of children
               will be forked off and each child will process messages via the
               wanted subroutine in parallel.  Restarting is allowed.

               NOTE: For "opt_j" >= 1, an extra child process will be created
               to determine the list of messages, sort the list, everything as
               appropriate.  This will keep the list in memory (possibly
               multiple copies) before writing the final list to a temporary
               file which will be used for processing.  The list generation
               child will exit, freeing up the memory.

           opt_n
               ArchiveIterator is typically used to simulate ham and spam mov-
               ing through SpamAssassin.  By default, the list of messages is
               sorted by received date so that the mails can be passed through
               in order.  If opt_n is true, the sorting will not occur.  This
               is useful if you don't care about the order of the messages.

           opt_restart
               If set to a positive integer value, children processes (see
               opt_j w/ value 2 or higher above) will restart after the option
               value number of messages, in total, have been processed.

           opt_head
               Only use the first N ham and N spam (or if the value is -N,
               only use the first N total messages regardless of class).

           opt_tail
               Only use the last N ham and N spam (or if the value is -N, only
               use the last N total messages regardless of class).

               If both "opt_head" and "opt_tail" are specified, then the
               "opt_head" value specifies a subset of the "opt_tail" selection
               to use; in other words, the "opt_tail" splice is applied first.

           opt_before
               Only use messages which are received after the given time_t
               value.  Negative values are an offset from the current time,
               e.g. -86400 = last 24 hours; or as parsed by Time::ParseDate
               (e.g. '-6 months')

           opt_after
               Same as opt_before, except the messages are only used if after
               the given time_t value.

           opt_want_date
               Set to 1 (default) if you want the received date to be filled
               in in the "wanted_sub" callback below.  Set this to 0 to avoid
               this; it's a good idea to set this to 0 if you can, as it
               imposes a performance hit.

           opt_cache
               Set to 0 (default) if you don't want to use cached information
               to help speed up ArchiveIterator.  Set to 1 to enable.

           opt_cachedir
               Set to the path of a directory where you wish to store cached
               information for "opt_cache", if you don't want to mix them with
               the input files (as is the default).  The directory must be
               both readable and writable.

           wanted_sub
               Reference to a subroutine which will process message data.
               Usually set via set_functions().  The routine will be passed 5
               values: class (scalar), filename (scalar), received date
               (scalar), message content (array reference, one message line
               per element), and the message format key ('f' for file, 'm' for
               mbox, 'b' for mbx).

               Note that if "opt_want_date" is set to 0, the received date
               scalar will be undefined.

           result_sub
               Reference to a subroutine which will process the results of the
               wanted_sub for each message processed.  Usually set via
               set_functions().  The routine will be passed 3 values: class
               (scalar), result (scalar, returned from wanted_sub), and
               received date (scalar).

               Note that if "opt_want_date" is set to 0, the received date
               scalar will be undefined.

           scan_progress_sub
               Reference to a subroutine which will be called intermittently
               during the 'scan' phase of the mass-check.  No guarantees are
               made as to how frequently this may happen, mind you.

       set_functions( \&wanted_sub, \&result_sub )
           Sets the subroutines used for message processing (wanted_sub), and
           result reporting.  For more information, see new() above.

       run ( @target_paths )
           Generates the list of messages to process, then runs each message
           through the configured wanted subroutine.  Files which have a name
           ending in ".gz" or ".bz2" will be properly uncompressed via call to
           "gzip -dc" and "bzip2 -dc" respectively.

           The target_paths array is expected to be one element per path in
           the following format: class:format:raw_location

           run() returns 0 if there was an error (can't open a file, etc,) and
           1 if there were no errors.

           class
               Either 'h' for ham or 's' for spam.  If the class is longer
               than 1 character, it will be truncated.  If blank, 'h' is
               default.

           format
               Specifies the format of the raw_location.  "dir" is a directory
               whose files are individual messages, "file" a file with a sin-
               gle message, "mbox" an mbox formatted file, or "mbx" for an mbx
               formatted directory.

               "detect" can also be used.  This assumes "mbox" for any file
               whose path contains the pattern "/\.mbox/i", "file" anything
               that is not a directory, or "directory" otherwise.

           raw_location
               Path to file or directory.  File globbing is allowed using the
               standard csh-style globbing (see "perldoc -f glob").  "~" at
               the front of the value will be replaced by the "HOME" environ-
               ment variable.  Escaped whitespace is protected as well.

               NOTE: "~user" is not allowed.

               NOTE 2: "-" is not allowed as a raw location.  To have
               ArchiveIterator deal with STDIN, generate a temp file.
