> Regarding SPAMCHK I can't see any benefit for bitmask return codes. Yeah, me neither with SPAMC32.
I do like the positive/negative concept, and I'd go it one further: a WEIGHTXn test type, which allows you to multiply the test result by n. This would allow for negative returns: SPAMCHK+ weight . . . SPAMCHK- weightx-1 . . . As well as being helpful to those (like me) who use different scales, like minimum weight 10 on all tests: SPAMC32 weightx10 . . . The bitmask idea seems like trying to fit an elephant (verbose result data) onto the head of a pin (console errorlevel). There are definitely better ways to pass robust data, such as Declude reading from STDOUT. But I think STDOUT would also be a half-measure. My ideal implementation for add-ons is a C library, which would of course allow any data to be exchanged between Declude and the extension. I'm kind of surprised that neither Barry nor Scott has mentioned this kind of move, which I think is a natural fit for whatever form Declude next takes: if Declude is going to be persistent and multithreaded (which doesn't mean that it's a standalone MTA, just that it plugs into MTA(s) that use the library model), rather than multiprocess, it's looking backward to require all add-ons to be multiprocess. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
