a wrapper for Mail::SpamAssassin::Client

[Ricardo SIGNES <rj...@cpan.org>]

Hi!  I'm planning to write a library for myself to wrap using
Mail::SpamAssassin::Client, to return an object summarizing the results of
checking, having extracted things like tests/score from the message in the
response.  If I release it to the CPAN, my first choice would be
M::SA::C::Simple, or something like that.

Would the SA team prefer I keep my hands out of the M::SA namespace?

I know that Mail::SA::Client's interface is likely to change, and I promise to
keep my own wrapper up to date. :)

I figure I'll hang onto it while I get it into the shape I imagined.  Then,
when it's stable enough, I'd be happy to hand it over, if you folks are
interested in taking over.

Have you considered contributing the code to the SA project for 
inclusion?  If it's included in our code base we're less likely to break 
it (at least without fixing it) on you.  You'd still, of course, be able 
to contribute updates to it in the future.

I uploaded Mail-SpamAssassin-SimpleClient 0.001 last night.  It needs more
testing and I have a bunch of things I'd like to do with it, but you'll get the
idea.

In the near future, I may join the sa-dev list to see if I can convince someone
to make some changes to the spamd protocol (or to figure out how to make them
myself) to make things awesomer.

Share and enjoy!
