[Bug 3255] New: Tag replacement inside the configuration files

http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3255

           Summary: Tag replacement inside the configuration files
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 2.63
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Rules
        AssignedTo: spamassassin-dev@incubator.apache.org
        ReportedBy: felixathome@gmx.net


Hi,

I am working pretty intensive with SA and I specify a lot of rules by myself
since the defaults do IMHO not fit for the currently very clever spamers. As I
mentioned the spamers learned a lot and I wasted a couple of time updating my
ruleset, 'cause spamers changed viagra to v!agr@ aso... After I got bored of
this I wrote a small parser which created SA-rules out of templates and kept
those in cvs. I had a main class-specification file where I specified flags for
classes of characters which had been replaced by my parser and ended up in my
SA-ruleset. 

Well at the end I wrote a small patch for Mail/SpamAssassin/Conf.pm which adds a
new configuration-flag "tag" where I specify my character-classes and the
addition to the _parse-function which replaces the those tags inside tests. I
think its a good intention and it (or something similar, I dont care) should be
inside SA and also the standard rules should be upgraded with classes all way
through to have a more effective out-of-the-box SA.
