SYNOPSIS

9         my $client = new Mail::SpamAssassin::Client({
10                                       port => 783,
11                                       host => 'localhost',
12                                       username => 'someuser'});
13         or
14
15         my $client = new Mail::SpamAssassin::Client({
16                                       socketpath => '/path/to/socket',
17                                       username => 'someuser'});
18
19         Optionally takes timeout, which is applied to IO::Socket for the
20         initial connection.  If not supplied, it defaults to 30 seconds.
21
22         if ($client->ping()) {
23           print "Ping is ok\n";
24         }
25
26         my $result = $client->process($testmsg);
27
28         if ($result->{isspam} eq 'True') {
29           do something with spam message here
30         }

45
46       Description: This method calls the spamd server with the PROCESS
47       command.
48
49       The return value is a hash reference containing several pieces of
50       information, if available:
51
52       content_length
53
54       isspam
55
56       score

58       threshold
59
60       message
