FuzzyOCR question

[Steve Lake <st...@raiden.net>]

         I'm brainstorming here tonight and I'm curious of something.  When 
you're using FuzzyOCR, is it called for every message that goes through SA, 
or just ones with gif attachments?

It is called for all messages. Every plugin is. The question is, does it 
do anything (i.e. take resources), and if so, what does it do.

If the message does not contain images, then nothing happens.

If the message already has enough points (more points than specified in 
the FuzzyOcr.cf as autodisable value), then nothing happens either (why 
waste resources if other rules striked enough earlier)

If none of the above cases met, then the image is processed, a hash is 
calculated (if you have enabled the hashing db), and the hash is 
searched in the database, if it is known, it is scored directly and no 
OCR action takes place.

If even the hash is unknown, then OCR tools are used on the image 
according to the defined config.


Best regards,


Chris

FuzzyOcr is invoked on every image on a message whenever the message itself doesn't reach a score threshold by other means.

Ie: if a spam is detected as such before running FuzzyOcr, the latter is not invoked.
