💅 dspam_dump — bestie's guide to the DSPAM metadata dumper

okay so real talk: this is dspam_dump(1), part of the DSPAM fam, and it's literally the tool that yoinks a user's metadata dictionary out into the open so you can stare at it. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

dspam_dump — produce a dump of a user's metadata, no cap 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dspam_dump [--profile=PROFILE] [-d sqlite_drv] username [token]

that's the whole vibe check right there ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so dspam_dump dumps a user's metadata dictionary to stdout, periodt. 🎀

which means you can use it to view the entire contents of a user's dictionary, or — and this is the main character move — use it in combination with grep to view just a subset of the data. iykyk 🔥

the output gives you:

  • the token's stored value (in CRC64 format)
  • the number of spam and nonspam hits
  • the token's computed probability

like, all the receipts, laid out for you 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --profile=PROFILE — specify a storage profile from dspam.conf. the storage profile you pick gets used for all database connectivity, so choose wisely bestie ✨ see dspam.conf for more info.
  • username — the username of the user to dump. > heads up: only trusted users (or root) can use this program for usernames different from the current one. 🙈 so don't go dumping everybody's business unless you're built for it.
  • token — the text string of the token to search for and dump. if no token is specified, all tokens get dumped to stdout. all of them. every single one. 😭

💜 EXAMPLES 💜

dspam_dump user Subject*Viagra

this dumps the token Subject*Viagra, which represents the word Viagra in the Subject header, for the user specified. iconic example choice honestly ⭐

💀 EXIT VALUE 💀

  • 0 — operation was successful. slay 🎉
  • other — operation resulted in an error. 💀
