DESCRIPTION

$obj->clone()

Inherited, see "Constructors" in Mail::Message::Head::FieldGroup

$obj->fighter( $name, [$settings] )

Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup->fighter( $name, [$settings] )

Get the $settings of a certain spam-fighter, optionally after setting them. The knownFighters() method returns the defined names. The names are case-sensitive.

-Option --Default
 fields   <required>
 isspam   <required>
 version  undef

fields => REGEXP: The regular expression which indicates which of the header fields are added by the spam fighter software.
isspam => CODE: The CODE must return true or false, to indicate whether the spam fighter thinks that the message contains spam. The CODE ref is called with the spamgroup object (under construction) and the header which is inspected.
version => CODE: Can be called to collect the official name and the version of the software which is used to detect spam. The CODE ref is called with the spamgroup object (under construction) and the header which is inspected.

example: adding your own spam-fighter definitions

Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup->fighter( 'MY-OWN',
   fields => qw/^x-MY-SPAM-DETECTOR-/,
   isspam => sub { my ($sg, $head) = @_; $head->fields > 100 }
  );

$obj->from($head|$message, %options)

Returns a list of Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup objects, based on the specified $message or message $head.

-Option--Default
 types   undef

types => ARRAY-OF-NAMES: Only the specified types will be tried. If the ARRAY is empty, an empty list is returned. Without this option, all sets are returned.

$obj->habeasSweFieldsCorrect( [$message|$head] )

Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup->habeasSweFieldsCorrect( [$message|$head] )

Returns a true value if the $message or $head contains Habeas-SWE fields which are correct. Without argument, this is used as instance method on an existing Spam-Group.

example: checking Habeas-SWE fields

if(Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup->habeasSweFieldsCorrect($message))
{   $message->label(spam => 0);
}

my $sg = $message->head->spamGroups('Habeas-SWE');
if($sg->habeasSweFieldsCorrect) { ... };

use List::Util 'first';
if(first {$_->habeasSweFieldsCorrect} $head->spamGroups)
{   ...
}

Mail clients which see these nine lines are (quite) sure that the message is sincere.

Error: Package $package does not implement $method.: Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author of the package.
