🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

loadplugin     Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SpamCop

That's it. One lil line and you're in business 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. SpamCop is a service for reporting spam. Lowkey iconic of them. SpamCop figures out the origin of unwanted email and then snitches on it to the relevant Internet service providers. 📢 And like, the way that reporting spam actually helps? You're having a positive impact on the problem, fr fr. Reporting unsolicited email also helps feed spam filtering systems, including (but not limited to 👀) the SpamCop blocklist that gets used in SpamAssassin as a DNSBL.

Heads up bestie: spam reports sent by this plugin to SpamCop each include the entire spam message. The whole thing. No cap. 🫣

See https://www.spamcop.net/ for more info about SpamCop.

🎀 USER SETTINGS 🎀

  • spamcop_from_address user@example.com — (default: none) 💖

This address is used during manual reports to SpamCop as the From: address. You can totally just use your normal email address. If this is not set, a guess will be used as the From: address in SpamCop reports.

  • spamcop_to_address user@example.com — (default: generic reporting address) ✨

Your customized SpamCop report submission address. You need to obtain this address by registering at "https://www.spamcop.net/". If this is not set, SpamCop reports will go to a generic reporting address for SpamAssassin users and your reports will probably have less weight in the SpamCop system. 😭 (the disrespect honestly)

  • spamcop_max_report_size — (default: 50) 🍓

Messages larger than this size (in kilobytes) will be truncated in report messages sent to SpamCop. The default setting is the maximum size that SpamCop will accept at the time of release.

  • spamcop_relayhost server:port — (default: direct connection to SpamCop) 🌈

Direct connection to SpamCop servers (port 587) is used for report submission by default. If this is undesirable or blocked by local firewall policies, you can specify a local SMTP relayhost to forward reports. Relayhost should be configured to not scan the report, for example by using a separate submission port. SSL or authentication is not supported. ngl that's a little devastating but okay we move 🥲

that's the whole page bestie, you ate 💅✨
