- Ruby, Mutt
- Some features use
ssh,scpandawk - POSIX-like environment with
cat,cp,rm,mktemp, and pipes - Spam stored in a Maildir or Maildir++ directory
Copy the spamreporter executable to some appropriate location like ~/bin/, preferably in your $PATH, and make sure it's marked as executable.
Intended for use in a cronjob on a mail server, at an interval and --limit appropriate to the policies of that server and of the report recipients.
Messages should not be moved into the spam Maildir automatically, unless it is an inbox for spam trap addresses. (See SpamCop: Can I automatically forward spam from my spamtraps?)
