Cool. [...] > (call-process-region (point-min) (point-max) "spamassassin" I've been looking a bit at various bits and pieces to find out how much can be done internally in Gnus, and how much can't be. >From reading the Razor docs, it seems that what the Razor server wants is basically a sha1 digest. And that's already been implemented in elisp by Shuhei KOBAYASHI. So spamassassin/Razor doesn't have to be installed for Gnus to use it to report to Razor, I think. What I haven't found in Emacs is a way to query DNS servers. Many of these spam filtering thingies use DNS as the medium for transferring data. The only thing I found is something in the URL libraries that just calls nslookup externally. Is there no DNS functionality in Emacs? Anybody want to implement it? :-) (It's UDP, and `M-x apropos RET udp RET' gives me nothing.) -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
