MailRxMatcher

Version: #VERSION# Date: #DATE#

mail-rx-match.pl extracts the text content from mail messages trying its best to undo any encoding and quoting and html entity coding the spammers are employing to obfuscate mail messages such that spam checkers do not find keywords.

mail-rx-match.pl is intended to be used in .procmailrc scripts like this:

 # spam with image
:0 BH
* Content-Type.*jpeg
CATCH=| ./opt/mail2txt/bin/mail-rx-match.pl --charset=utf8 '(Bad|Ugly|Words)'

:0
* ? test "$CATCH" = MATCH
mail/spam

It comes complete with a classic "configure - make - install" setup.

Setup

In your app source directory and start building.

./configure --prefix=$HOME/opt/mail-rx-match
make

Configure will check if all requirements are met and give hints on how to fix the situation if something is missing.

Any missing perl modules will be downloaded and built.

Installation

To install the application, just run

make install

Enjoy!
