Since this possibly is more developer related, I put this as +text file into the source SVN. Possibly some of this should go to the +user documentation. + +I gathered the information from several mails and comments by Andreas +Gungl, the original developer of the antispam wizard for KMail, and +Ingo Kloecker. + +When you have questions do not hesitate to ask me, Martin Steigerwald, +Andreas or Ingo. + + +Basics +------ + +The configuration file for the KMail antispam wizard "kmail.antispamrc" +consists of one entry for each spamfilter that the antispam wizard +shall support. + +At the beginning of the file in the section "General" the option "tools" +specifies the count of configured spam filters. Increase that by one +when you add a new entry: + +[General] +tools=11 + + +A spam filter configuration entry starts with a header like this: + +[Spamtool #11] + + +After this you place all the options for the spam filter. Please use +an ordering that is similar to the other entries in the configuration +file so that things are unified a bit. + + +General options +--------------- + +- Ident: Specifies the internal identifier for the entry + +- Version: Specifies the version of the entry (FIXME what is this for?) + +- Priority: Specifies the priority of the filter. This value is used to + place faster filters before the slower ones in the selection list. If the + user chooses the top item, he gets the fastest filter. Provider sided + "filters" (which produce headers tough) like the GMX filter have a prio + at about 70, they are very fast as they don't consume time on the client + side. Since CRM114 is almost as fast it gets 65 ;-). + +- VisibleName: This is the name that is presented to the user + +Or: + +- HeadersOnly=yes: This is used for entries where KMail should just parse + the mail headers for the spam score display (see Razor filter and below + for spam score display details). + + +Spam filter options +------------------- + +These specify details about the spamfilter. + +- Executable: Specifies a test whether the executable of the spamfilter + can be started. You should provide something which can be run on the + command line and returns [ $? -eq 0 ], i.e. it doesn't wait for any input + etc. It usually make sense to assume the program in the $PATH, so you + should better avoid /usr/bin. Set executable to "echo" for provider based + filters. + Example: Executable=crm -v | grep "CRM114" + +- URL: URL to the homepage of the filter + +- PipeFilterName: Name of the pipe-through filter used to send mails to the + spamfilter and get them back with added spam filter headers. + +- PipeCmdDetect: Command used to pipe the mail into. + +- ExecCmdSpam: Command used to mark a mail as spam. + +- ExecCmdHam: Command used to mark a mail as ham. + +- SupportsBayes: Set to 1 if you have a spam filter that can learn. Only + in this case KMail uses ExecCmdSpam and ExecCmdHam to let the user mark + mail as ham or spam. + + +Spam detection options +---------------------- + +These specify how KMail shall detect whether a mail is spam, unsure or good. + +- DetectionHeader: The name of the header where the spam filter puts the spam + status of a mail into. + +- DetectionPattern: The pattern the spam filter uses for marking a mail as + spam. + +- DetectionPattern2: The pattern the spam filter uses for marking a mail as + unsure. Set "SupportsUnsure=1" when you use this. + +- DetectionOnly: Don't pipe mails through the spam filter, but just use headers + from outside, e.g. a provider based spam filter (See GMX). + +- UseRegExp: Set to 1 if you need to use regular expressions in the detection + patterns. KMail can operate faster when they are not required. + +- SupportsUnsure: Set to 1 if you have a spam filter that supports + classying mails as unsure to tell the user to train those. + + +Spam score display +------------------ + +Those regular expressions are used to extract the actual "spamicity" +score and the threshold (i.e. the upper bound for non-spam) from +SpamAssassin's ScoreHeader. The score and the threshold are then used +for showing the spam status in the message header, i.e. the small +colorbar. + +You need to specify the following values: + +- ScoreName: The name that will be shown in the message header. + +- ScoreHeader: The message header containing the score value. + +- ScoreType: The type of the score, cf. below. + +- ScoreValueRegexp: A regular expression for extracting the score from + the ScoreHeader. + +- ScoreThresholdRegexp: A regular expression for extracting the threshold + from the ScoreHeader; only needed for Adjusted type. Please set to + nothing (ScoreThresholdRegexp=) if not needed. + + +KMail supports the following ScoreType values: + +- Bool: Simple Yes or No (Razor) + +- Decimal: For probability between 0.0 and 1.0 (BogoFilter) + +- Percentage: For straight percentages between 0.0 and 100.0 + +- Adjusted: Use this when we need to compare against a threshold + (SpamAssasssin) + |
