Well, it's only a small C program, and it's likely in cache, not executed via the shell but directly, so the overhead is pretty minimal compared to the actual Mail::SpamAssassin scanning itself. That said, after a little looking around, there's both a libspamc.so available (without documentation?), and a protocol description in the SA distribution in spamd/PROTOCOL. So it should be possible to create a standalone perl version of spamc. However, I probably won't bother... unless we can show that the overhead is significant. Oh, I'm using IPC::Open2 to write to and read from spamc, and prevent tempfiles and executions via the shell. If you're interested, let me know. -- Jan-Pieter Cornet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> !!
