See the INSTALL for setup instructions.

EXPORTS

read_config

Reads a YAML file, sets the command line options and return the associated accounts.

Expects as parameter a string with the full path to the YAML file and a hash reference of the command line options read (as returned by Getopts::Std getopts function).

The hash reference options will set as defined in the YAML file. Options defined in the YAML have preference of those read on the command line then.

It will also return all data configured in the Accounts section of the YAML file as a hash refence. Check the README.md file for more details about the configuration file.

get_browser

Creates a instance of LWP::UserAgent and returns it.

Expects two string as parameters: one with the name to associated with the user agent and the another as version of it.

main_loop

Processes all the pending spam reports in a loop until finished.

Expects as parameter (in this sequence):

• a LWP::UserAgent instance

• A hash reference with the following key/values:

  • ident => The identity to Spamcop

  • pass => The password to Spamcop

  • debug => true (1) or false (0) to enable/disable debug information

  • delay => time in seconds to wait for next iteration with Spamcop website

  • quiet => true (1) or false (0) to enable/disable messages

    As confusing as it seems, current implementation may accept debug messages and disable other messages.

  • check_only => true (1) or false (0) to only check for unreported SPAM, but not reporting them

Returns true if everything went right, or die if a fatal error happened.
