# Mail::Message::Wrapper::SpamAssassin(3pm)

Connect a Mail::Message with Mail::SpamAssassin

## NAME

Mail::Message::Wrapper::SpamAssassin - Connect a Mail::Message with Mail::SpamAssassin

## INHERITANCE

```
 Mail::Message::Wrapper::SpamAssassin
   is a Mail::SpamAssassin::Message
```

## SYNOPSIS

```
 # WARNING: requires OLD SpamAssassion 2.x, not the new 3.x
 # See Mail::Box::Search::SpamAssassin for the preferred interface
 # However, it is possible to do:
 my $msg    = ...;   # some Mail::Message object
 my $sa     = Mail::Message::Wrapper::SpamAssassin->new($msg);
 my $spam   = Mail::SpamAssassin->new;
 my $status = $spam->check($sa);
 $msg->label(spam => 1) if $status->is_spam;
 $status->rewrite_mail;  # Adds spam lines to header
```

## DESCRIPTION

WARNING: This module only works with the old version of SpamAssassin: version 2.x.  The newer 3.x releases have changed the way that messages are kept. Please contribute improved code.

The `"Mail::Message::Wrapper::SpamAssassin"` class --sorry for the long package name-- is a wrapper around Mail::SpamAssassin::Message, which is an interface to the spam checking software of Mail::SpamAssassin.

## METHODS

- Mail::Message::Wrapper::SpamAssassin-\>**new**($message, %options)

  Creates a wrapper around the `$message`.  The already present fields from a previous run of Spam::Assassin (or probably fake lines) are removed first.

## SEE ALSO
