It’s not abandonware – Jules handed it off to some other folks that are actively putting out new versions. As a matter of fact one came out not too long ago. MailWatch for MailScanner is also being actively developed still. Latest/greatest is available at www.mailscanner.info<http://www.mailscanner.info> for anyone wanting to check it out.

Has anyone done this? module even? the main problem: may non-spam senders do that, see: https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/AntiPhishFakeUrlRule and further the discussion in linked bug: https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4255 I suspect Nick is still using and referring to mailscanner (which is/was written in perl), it has/had this ability, I (like a good few of the names around here) used it back in the day as well, until it became clear it was abandonware, and did not like certain newer versions of perl causing exits after each scan, mind you, I did dump it for amavisd back around 2008/9/10, that said I liked that function, and rarely noticed any FP's, my memorys hazy, but IIRC, it disarmed the links, rather than take any scoring action... I might be wrong though, like I said, its been along time. -- Kind Regards, Noel Butler This Email, including any attachments, may contain legally privileged information, therefore remains confidential and subject to copyright protected under international law.
