NAMESYNOPSIS
METHODS
NAME
Mail::SpamAssassin::Logger − SpamAssassin logging module
SYNOPSIS
use Mail::SpamAssassin::Logger;
$SIG{__WARN__} = sub {
log_message("warn", $_[0]);
};
$SIG{__DIE__} = sub {
log_message("error", $_[0]) if $_[0] !~ / in eval /;
};
METHODS
add_facilities(facilities)
Enable debug logging for specific facilities. Each facility is the area of code to debug. Facilities can be specified as a hash reference (the key names are used), an array reference, an array, or a comma-separated scalar string. Facility names are case-sensitive.
If "all" is listed, then all debug facilities are implicitly enabled, except for those explicitly disabled. A facility name may be preceded by a "no" (case-insensitive), which explicitly disables it, overriding the "all". For example: all,norules,noconfig,nodcc. When facility names are given as an ordered list (array or scalar, not a hash), the last entry applies, e.g. ’nodcc,dcc,dcc,noddc’ is equivalent to ’nodcc’. Note that currently no facility name starts with a "no", it is advised to keep this practice with newly added facility names to make life easier.
Higher priority informational messages that are suitable for logging in normal circumstances are available with an area of "info". Some very verbose messages require the facility to be specifically enabled (see "would_log" below).
log_message($level, @message)
Log a message at a specific level. Levels are specified as strings: "warn", "error", "info", and "dbg". The first element of the message must be prefixed with a facility name followed directly by a colon.
dbg("facility: message")
This is used for all low priority debugging messages.
info("facility: message")
This is used for informational messages indicating a normal, but significant, condition. This should be infrequently called. These messages are typically logged when SpamAssassin is run as a daemon.
add(method => ’syslog’, socket => $socket, facility => $facility)
"socket" is the type the syslog ("unix" or "inet"). "facility" is the syslog facility (typically "mail").
add(method => ’file’, filename => $file)
"filename" is the name of the log file.
add(method => ’stderr’)
No options are needed for stderr logging, just don’t close stderr first.
remove(method)
Remove a logging method. Only the method name needs to be passed as a scalar.
would_log($level, $facility)
Returns 0 if a message at the given level and with the given facility would be logged. Returns 1 if a message at a given level and facility would be logged normally. Returns 2 if the facility was specifically enabled.
The facility argument is optional.
close_log()
Close all logs.
Opportunity
Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.
Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.
Free Software
Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.
Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.
Free Books
The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.
Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.
Education
Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.
Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
