Mail::...Mailman(3pm)

💖 Mail::...Mailman — the manual page, but make it slay 💖

okay so bestie, you found the Mail::...Mailman page (that's Mail::ListDetector::Detector::Mailman for the perl people, 3pm section, iykyk) and it is lowkey iconic. it's a perl thing, it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's about catching Mailman mail. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Mail::ListDetector::Detector::Mailman — a Mailman message detector. yes that's the whole name. it detects. it's a detector. main character energy fr 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

the vibe check, literally:

use Mail::ListDetector::Detector::Mailman;

that's it. that's the whole flex. one line and you're in 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this is an implementation of a mailing list detector, specifically for GNU Mailman. like, it's the little guy whose whole job is figuring out "is this a Mailman list or not?" and it eats that question for breakfast. no cap 🌈

---

👑 METHODS 👑

✨ new() ✨

inherited from Mail::ListDetector::Detector::Base. so you don't get a bespoke one here, bestie, you get the family recipe. 💜

✨ match() ✨

okay this is the one that does the werk. it accepts a Mail::Internet object and it returns either:

• a Mail::ListDetector::List object — if it turns out the message is a post to a Mailman mailing list 💖
• undef — if it's not 🫠

so basically it looks at your mail and goes "hmm yes this is giving Mailman" or "nope, not my problem". periodt.

💀 BUGS 💀

no known bugs. literally none. we're clean, we're flawless, we're not accepting criticism at this time 🙈✨
