Plugin API¶
The Suspect class¶
The suspect represents the message to be scanned. Each scannerplugin will be presented with a suspect and may modify the tags or even the message content itself.
adds a header to the message. by default, headers will added when re-injecting the message back to postfix if you set immediate=True the message source will be replaced immediately. Only set this to true if a header must be visible to later plugins (eg. for spamassassin rules), otherwise, leave as False which is faster.
returns information about the client that submitted this message. (helo,ip,reversedns)
This information is extracted from the message Received: headers and therefore probably not 100% reliable all information is returned as-is, this means for example, that non-fcrdns client will show ‘unknown’ as reverse dns value.
if ignoreregex is not None, all results which match this regex in either helo,ip or reversedns will be ignored
By default, this method starts searching at the top Received Header. Set a higher skip value to start searching further down.
both these arguments can be used to filter received headers from local systems in order to get the information from a boundary MTA
returns None if the client info can not be found or if all applicable values are filtered by skip/ignoreregex
holds client info tuple: helo, ip, reversedns
Add a line to the debug log if debugging is enabled for this message
returns information about the client that submitted this message. (helo,ip,reversedns)
In before-queue mode this info is extracted using the XFORWARD SMTP protocol extension.
In after-queue mode this information is extracted from the message Received: headers and therefore probably not 100% reliable all information is returned as-is, this means for example, that non-fcrdns client will show ‘unknown’ as reverse dns value.
if no config object is passed, the first parseable Received header is used. otherwise, the config is used to determine the correct boundary MTA (trustedhostregex / boundarydistance)
Returns the message headers as string
- Returns:
- (unicode str) unicode for Py2, str for Py3
returns the python email api representation of this suspect
returns the original, unmodified message source
returns the current message source, possibly changed by plugins
returns the tag value. if the tag is not found, return defaultvalue instead (None if no defaultvalue passed)
Returns True if ANY plugin tagged this suspect as blocked
Returns True if message is neither considered to be spam, virus or blocked
Returns True if ANY of the spam engines tagged this suspect as high spam
returns true if the message source has been modified
Returns True if ANY of the spam engines tagged this suspect as spam
Returns True if ANY of the antivirus engines tagged this suspect as infected
replace the message content. this must be a standard python email representation Warning: setting the source via python email representation seems to break dkim signatures!
Store message source. This might be modified by plugins later on... Args:
source (bytes,str,unicode): new message source- Keyword Args:
- encoding (str): encoding, default is utf-8
Set a new tag
holds the message source if set directly
Returns the first recipient address
Returns the local part of the first recipient
Returns the local part of the first recipient
update/alter the message subject :param subject_cb: callback function that alters the subject. must accept a string and return a string :param cb_params: additional parameters to be passed to subject_cb :return: True if subject was altered, False otherwise
The SuspectFilter class¶
Allows filtering Suspect based on header/tag/body regexes
Return True if the file has changed on disks since the last reload
returns all args of matched regexes in a list if extended=True: returns a list of tuples with all available information: (fieldname, matchedvalue, arg, regex)
Returns a list of all text contents
return a list of mail header values or special values. If the value can not be found, an empty list is returned.
- headers:
- just the headername or header:<headername> for standard message headers mime:headername for attached mime part headers
- envelope data:
- envelope_from (or from_address) envelope_to (or to_address) from_domain to_domain clientip clienthostname (fcrdns or ‘unknown’) clienthelo
- tags
- @tagname
- body source:
- body:full -> (full source, encoded) body:stripped (or just ‘body’) : -> returns text/* bodyparts with tags and newlines stripped body:raw -> decoded raw message body parts
check file and print warnings to console. returns True if everything is ok, False otherwise
returns (True,arg) if any regex matches, (False,None) otherwise
if extended=True, returns all available info about the match in a tuple: True, (fieldname, matchedvalue, arg, regex)
Strip HTML Tags from content, replace newline with space (like Spamassassin)
- Returns:
- (unicode/str) Unicode string (Py3 ‘str’ is unicode string)
