Subject: [PATCH] mda: support --no-precheck option
Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2019 00:39:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191016003956.13269-1-e@80x24.org> (raw)

Since -mda now supports List-ID to better support mirroring of
existing mailing lists, it probably makes sense to support
disabling the precheck function to provide more accurate (though
potentially spammier) mirrors of lists

+By default, public-inbox-mda does some simple checks before
+invoking L<spamc(1)> since it is intended to receive mail before
+it goes to a mailing list.
+
+Howeever, some users prefer to use public-inbox-mda to mirror
+mailing lists.  This option exists to support those users.
+
+Using this option, the following prechecks are disabled:
+
+  * multiple Message-IDs
+  * non-existent Message-IDs
+  * Message-IDs longer than 244 characters long
+  * From: header shorter than 3 characters
+  * Subject: header shorter than 2 characters
+  * unusable Date: headers
