[Bug 6233] New: What values are valid/recommended for SYMBOLIC_TEST_NAME?
|
|
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6233
Summary: What values are valid/recommended for
SYMBOLIC_TEST_NAME?
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: dev[at]spamassassin.apache.org
ReportedBy: antispam[at]khopis.com
(Filed as a documentation bug, but perhaps better suited elsewhere...)
I had thought SYMBOLIC_TEST_NAME had to match /^(__)?[A-Z][A-Z_0-9]+$/ but
there is a small number of rules that do not ... namely, rules in
20_freemail.cf (subrules only), 20_ratware.cf (subrules starting with __0),
sandboxes emailed/00_FVGT_File001.cf (trailing lowercases), hege/20_hk.cf,
hege/20_hk_dev.cf, and jm/80_sane.cf (trailing hashes using lowercase), plus
many SARE rules and 72_active.cf has a hit (__FB_BCs) in
updates.spamassassin.org (for 3.2.5) but not in subversion.
There does not appear to be a document stating what these can legally be nor
are there suggestions aside from those pertaining to prefixing custom rules at
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/WritingRules#Rule_name_suggestions
http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.2.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html
states that a description is best kept under 50 characters, but it never
actually defines anything about what can and cannot be included in descriptions
and SYMBOLIC_TEST_NAME.
Can symbolic test names be of any length and include any nonspace characters?
I'm doubting it...
Here's how I got a list as sorted by filename:
----
cd /path/to/spamassassin/svn/trunk
find * -name '*.cf' |xargs grep . |perl -ne 'if
(/^(\S+):\s*(?:lang\s+\S+\s+)?(?:describe|score|tflags|priority|test|header|full|(?:raw)?body|meta|uri)\s+/)
{ my $file=$1; s///; s/\s.*//; print "$file: $_" unless
/^(?:__)?[A-Z][A-Z_0-9]{1,50}$/; }' |sort |uniq
cd /var/lib/spamassassin/3.002005; !!
----
(It's amazing how much I've learned just by writing a syntax file for SA
configs... see http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2617 ... which I
might want to check into svn once I get write access.)
