NAME

       Mail::ListDetector::Detector::RFC2369 - RFC2369 message detector

SYNOPSIS

	 use Mail::ListDetector::Detector::RFC2369;

DESCRIPTION

       An implementation of a mailing list detector, for RFC2369 compliant mailing lists.

METHODS

   new()
       Inherited from Mail::ListDetector::Detector::Base.

   match()
       Accepts a Mail::Internet object and returns either a Mail::ListDetector::List object if it is a post to a RFC2369 compliant mailing list,
       or "undef".

       The RFC2369 standard does not REQUIRE all the information we wish to extract to be present - therefore this module may not be able to
       return full information for all RFC2369 compliant lists.

BUGS

       No known bugs.

NAME

       Mail::ListDetector - Perl extension for detecting mailing list messages

SYNOPSIS

	 use Mail::ListDetector;

DESCRIPTION

       This module analyzes mail objects in any of the classes handled by Email::Abstract. It returns a Mail::ListDetector::List object
       representing the mailing list.

       The RFC2369 mailing list detector is also capable of matching some Mailman and Ezmlm messages. It is deliberately checked last to allow the
       more specific Mailman and Ezmlm parsing to happen first, and more accurately identify the type of mailing list involved.

METHODS

   new
       This method is the core of the module. Pass it a mail object, it will either return a Mail::ListDetector::List object that describes the
       mailing list that the message was posted to, or "undef" if it appears not to have been a mailing list post.

   register_plugin($plugin_name)
       Registers a new plugin module that might recognise lists. Should be a subclass of Mail::ListDetector::Detector::Base, and provide the same
       interface as the other detector modules.

       You can eval arbitrary perl code with this, so don't do that if that's not what you want.

EMAILS USED

       This module includes a number of sample emails from various mailing lists. In all cases, mails are used with permission of the author, and
       must not be distributed separately from this archive. If you believe I may have accidentally used your email or content without permission,
       contact me, and if this turns out to be the case I will immediately remove it from the latest version of the archive.

BUGS

       o   A lot of the code applies fairly simple regular expressions to email address to extract information. This may fall over for really
	   weird email addresses, but I'm hoping no-one will use those for names of mailing lists.

       o   The majordomo and smartlist recognisers don't have much to go on, and therefore are probably not as reliable as the other detectors.
	   This is liable to be hard to fix.

       o   Forwarding messages (for example using procmail) can sometimes break the "Sender: " header information needed to recognise some list
	   types.
