Here are two shell scripts for dealing with SpamCop that I have written.
~/bin/spamcop is used to submit spam emails to SpamCop.
replace the ()()()()()()() with your spamcop submit
email address. I used ()()()() so the shell would
choke on the script until you do this.
~/bin/spamcop_web is used to deal with the emails SpamCop sends asking
me which email addresses to send reports to.
(I do love lynx, my scriptable web-browser)
Both scripts take an email message with full headers.
For the sake of mutt, they can take it on standard input
For the sake of sylpheed, they can take a filename containing the email
Please note, that I haven't actually given bin/spamcop_web a full test
yet. I haven't recieved any new spam since I wrote it this afternoon.
When I was writing it, I tested it by replacing 'lynx' with 'cat' so I
could see what lynx was getting. I didn't actually want to report any
legitimate emails while I was testing it.
I've been using bin/spamcop for at least 6 months now, so that's been
sufficiently tested
########################## begin ~/bin/spamcop
#! /bin/bash
if [ "$1" ]; then
cat $1 | $0
exit 0
fi
mutt submit.()()()()()()()@spam.spamcop.net
exit 0
########################## begin ~/bin/spamcop_web
#! /bin/tcsh
if ($?1)
cat $1 | $0
exit 0
end
(echo -n g && grep "http://spamcop.net/sc?id=" && echo /Send Spam && echo && echo qy) | lynx
##### the comments that follow explain what the last line does #####
#echo -n g #tell lynx that you want to go somewhere (no newline after this key)
#grep "http://spamcop.net/sc?id=" #tell it the address, from the email
#echo /Send Spam #find the button we need to press by searching for its text
#It says "Send Spam Report(s)" but I didn't
#want to deal with the last word.
#echo #press the button with another newline
#echo qy #now we're done. quit lynx
exit 0 #disable "press any key" prompt in mutt
