Description Andrzej Filip 2006-12-11 09:07:17 UTC 
It woul be nice to allow spamc request "local only" checks.

I download messages from multiple email accounts, deploying "non local" test for
some of then is not necessary.

spamc "--local" option

This patch gives spamc the "--local" switch, which passes the SPAMC_LOCAL flag
to libspamc, which sends "Network-tests: off" to spamd.  PerMsgStatus has been
given its own scoreset for itself and plugins to reference, since the client
turning network tests off will result in a different scoreset from the
SpamAssassin object (assuming that spamd wasn't started with the "local tests
only" option).

This failed one of the spamc_x_e.t tests and three of the spamc_x_E_R.t tests,
but I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with my patch.

Are there any chances to add support for --local option to spamc?

I would like it for privacy reasons e.g. 
* running "local only" tests for messages received from IMAP folder INBOX
* running "remote" tests for messages received from IMAP folder Spambox

I'll take a look at this patch but in the meantime, you could simply run two different spamd's on different ports using different config files.

If work is done on this, consider also making it possible to
control (disable/enable) network tests with a config option.
I find it unnecessarily restrictive to have this available only
through an API call (and I don't see a good reason for this).

  Add ability to turn off all network tests (ie local_tests_only) via config

I had been using two personal (non root user) spamd on different unix sockets.
