Summary: Mail::SpamAssassin::NetSet: removing custom code, using
CPAN module
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Libraries

Mail::SpamAssassin::NetSet uses some custom code to keep the list of
addresses / networks. It doesn't support IPv6.
IPv6 support can of course be added using custom code, but there are
CPAN modules providing this functionality:
- http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-IP/
- http://search.cpan.org/dist/NetAddr-IP/
- http://search.cpan.org/dist/NetAddr-IP-Lite/
I suggest using NetAddr::IP::Lite; it seemed to be least buggy and
most actively developed of all three.
This means adding another dependency, so I guess some of you will
strongly object. But:
* there should be IPv6 support
* no point in reinventing the wheel
* implementing IP RFC's isn't SA's purpose
* show must go on.
I can provide custom code to add this functionality (pack & unpack here
and there isn't that hard after all). But -- even though I trust it's
quality -- it won't be as throughly tested as a specialised module.
