Mail::ListDetector(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::ListDetector(3pm) NAME
Mail::ListDetector - Perl extension for detecting mailing list messages SYNOPSIS
use Mail::ListDetector; DESCRIPTION
This module analyzes mail objects in any of the classes handled by Email::Abstract. It returns a Mail::ListDetector::List object representing the mailing list. The RFC2369 mailing list detector is also capable of matching some Mailman and Ezmlm messages. It is deliberately checked last to allow the more specific Mailman and Ezmlm parsing to happen first, and more accurately identify the type of mailing list involved. METHODS
new This method is the core of the module. Pass it a mail object, it will either return a Mail::ListDetector::List object that describes the mailing list that the message was posted to, or "undef" if it appears not to have been a mailing list post. register_plugin($plugin_name) Registers a new plugin module that might recognise lists. Should be a subclass of Mail::ListDetector::Detector::Base, and provide the same interface as the other detector modules. You can eval arbitrary perl code with this, so don't do that if that's not what you want. EMAILS USED
This module includes a number of sample emails from various mailing lists. In all cases, mails are used with permission of the author, and must not be distributed separately from this archive. If you believe I may have accidentally used your email or content without permission, contact me, and if this turns out to be the case I will immediately remove it from the latest version of the archive. BUGS
o A lot of the code applies fairly simple regular expressions to email address to extract information. This may fall over for really weird email addresses, but I'm hoping no-one will use those for names of mailing lists. o The majordomo and smartlist recognisers don't have much to go on, and therefore are probably not as reliable as the other detectors. This is liable to be hard to fix. o Forwarding messages (for example using procmail) can sometimes break the "Sender: " header information needed to recognise some list types. AUTHORS

Mail::Filter(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::Filter(3) NAME
Mail::Filter - Filter mail through multiple subroutines SYNOPSIS
use Mail::Filter; my $filter = Mail::Filter->new( &filter1, &filter2 ); my $mail = Mail::Internet->new( [<>] ); my $mail = $filter->filter($mail); my $folder = Mail::Folder->new( .... ); my $filter->filter($folder); DESCRIPTION
"Mail::Filter" provides an interface to filtering Email through multiple subroutines. "Mail::Filter" filters mail by calling each filter subroutine in turn. Each filter subroutine is called with two arguments, the first is the filter object and the second is the mail or folder object being filtered. The result from each filter sub is passed to the next filter as the mail object. If a filter subroutine returns undef, then "Mail::Filter" will abort and return immediately. The function returns the result from the last subroutine to operate on the mail object. METHODS
Constructors Mail::Filter->new([FILTER [, ... ]]) Create a new "Mail::Filter" object with the given filter subroutines. Each filter may be either a code reference or the name of a method to call on the <Mail::Filter> object. Accessors $obj->add(FILTER [, FILTER ...]) Add the given filters to the end of the filter list. Processing $obj->filter(MAIL-OBJECT | MAIL-FOLDER) If the first argument is a "Mail::Internet" object, then this object will be passed through the filter list. If the first argument is a "Mail::Folder" object, then each message in turn will be passed through the filter list. $obj->folder() While the "filter" method is called with a "Mail::Folder" object, these filter subroutines can call this method to obtain the folder object that is being processed. $obj->msgnum() If the "filter" method is called with a "Mail::Folder" object, then the filter subroutines may call this method to obtain the message number of the message that is being processed.
