patch to add VERSION option to spamc/spamd
When running SPAMC/SPAMD in several servers to scan messages, we should know
the version of the spamd server in order to determine what options are
available. This is not generally a problem, because the SPAMD protocol rarely
changes, but when the protocol changes in order to accomodate new methods, we
need to know.
Using SIMSCAN as the agent calling spamd, I wanted to know the version of the
spamd server in order to record the correct scanner version in the header, so I
came up with a patch in order to be able to get this information, and realized
that unless the spamd protocol changes, or spamc options are added, upgrades
are only needed on the scanning servers, mailstores only need to have a very
"recent" version of spamc in order to scan a message/file.
Also, with this new option, I will always have the correct scanner version in
my simversions.cdb file my calling this option instead of getting the spamc
version which may not be the same.
