#179 Filter spam on message body

[anser]

This patch adds a matching spam check for body content.
It works exactly like the header check, except the
message body (after base64/quoted-printable decoding)
is scanned.

You will need to remove and re-add any lists that you
want to use this feature on after installing it. Make
sure you get a new Defaults.py as well.

The patch is pretty clean.

Because this is a new feature, I have to defer it until
after MM2.1

How can I apply this patch to a current Mailman 2.1.29 ?
What command to "bodypatch" file?

[Mark Sapiro]

You can apply the patch by first cd to the directory containing your Mailman installation and then

patch -p0 < /path/to/bodypatch

It will apply with only line number differences except for the hunk

*** 298,303 ****
--- 298,305 ----
          self.send_goodbye_msg = mm_cfg.DEFAULT_SEND_GOODBYE_MSG
          self.bounce_matching_headers = \
                  mm_cfg.DEFAULT_BOUNCE_MATCHING_HEADERS
+         self.bounce_matching_body = \
+                 mm_cfg.DEFAULT_BOUNCE_MATCHING_BODY
          self.anonymous_list = mm_cfg.DEFAULT_ANONYMOUS_LIST
          internalname = self.internal_name()
          self.real_name = internalname[0].upper() + internalname[1:]

which will have to be applied manually.

However this patch is not recommended. It should also patch Mailman/Version.py to bump DATA_FILE_VERSION and Mailman/versions.py to set bounce_matching_body so you don't need to remove and recreate lists. See the FAQ article at https://wiki.list.org/x/4030615 for another way to do this.
