Summary: SpamAssassin handler for pre-tagged mail

Initial Comment:
In my ISP enviroment (and many others, based on my
readings of various MTA lists) ALL incomming mail is
scanned by MailScanner, which includes Spamassassin
analysis, with the results put in the header.

Simmilar to the other SA handlers in here, this one
deals with pre-tagged mail.

To install, drop this into the $prefix/Mailman/Handlers
directory, add 'SpamAssassin' to the GLOBAL_PIPELINE in
$prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py and (optionaly) add
configuration directives to $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py
(SPAMASSASSIN_DISCARD_SCORE, SPAMASSASSIN_HOLD_SCORE,
SPAMASSASSIN_MEMBER_BONUS)

Mail that is above the ..._DISCARD_SCORE is silently
thrown away; above the ..._HOLD_SCORE is held for
moderation. The ...MEMBER_BONUS subtracts that score
from the tagged score if the sender is on the list.

One could easily customize the error/warning messages
in the top of this file.

It MAY be necessary to tweek the regular expression
that actualy sucks out the score from the headers...
Uncomment my debug syslog lines to help.

I constructed a similar handler for SpamAssassin which can 
be used
both for systems that pre-tag the messages and for systems 
that
want to use python's to tag the message using spamd/spamc.

It's behavioure can be controlled by the mm_cfg parameter
SPAMASSASSIN_USE_HEADERS. It parsers both the score and 
the symbols
(tests) from the SpamAssassin-header.

It's based on 
http://www.daa.com.au/~james/articles/mailman-
spamassassin/
and should be able to handle both kinds of 
mailman/spamassassin
integration.

It can be found at 
http://gewis.nl/~pieterb/python/SpamAssassin.py.txt

It would be great if a SpamAssassin.py will be integrated in 
Mailman
2.1.4! Can anybody commit this SpamAssassin.py and James 
his spamd.py
to the Mailman CVS?

Feedback is welcome,
Regards,

Pieter
