spam trainer and remover for public-inbox

Synopsis

  public-inbox-learn <spam|ham|rm> </path/to/RFC2822_message

Description

public-inbox-learn can remove spam or inject ham messages into an inbox while training a SpamAssassin instance.

It is intended for users of public-inbox-mda(1) or public-inbox-watch(1), but not users relying on git-fetch(1) to mirror inboxes.

It reads one message from standard input and operates on it depending on the command given:

Commands

public-inbox-learn takes one of the following commands as its first and only argument:

spam

Treat the message as spam.  This will mark the message as removed so it becomes inaccessible via NNTP or WWW endpoints for all configured inboxes.

The message remains accessible in git history.

It will also be fed to spamc(1) for training purposes unless publicinboxmda.spamcheck is none in public-inbox-config(5).

ham

Treat standard input as ham.  This is useful for manually injecting messages into the archives which failed the spam check run by public-inbox-mda(1) or public-inbox-watch(1).

It relies on the To:, Cc:, and List-ID: headers to match configured inbox addresses and listid directives.

It will also be fed to spamc(1) for training purposes unless publicinboxmda.spamcheck is none in public-inbox-config(5).

rm

This is similar to the spam command above, but does not feed the message to spamc(1) and only removes messages which match on any of the To:, Cc:, and List-ID: headers.

The --all option may be used match spam semantics in removing the message from all configured inboxes.  --all is only available in public-inbox 1.6.0+.

Environment

PI_CONFIG

Per-user config file parseable by git-config(1). See public-inbox-config(5).
