NAME
       Mail::SpamAssassin::PersistentAddrList - persistent address list base
       class

SYNOPSIS
         my $factory = PersistentAddrListSubclass->new();
         $spamtest->set_persistent_addr_list_factory ($factory);
         ... call into SpamAssassin classes...

       SpamAssassin will call:

         my $addrlist = $factory->new_checker($spamtest);
         $entry = $addrlist->get_addr_entry ($addr);
         ...

DESCRIPTION
       All persistent address list implementations, used by the auto-whitelist
       code to track known-good email addresses, use this as a base class.

       See "Mail::SpamAssassin::DBBasedAddrList" for an example.

METHODS
       $factory = PersistentAddrListSubclass->new();
           This creates a factory object, which SpamAssassin will call to
           create a new checker object for the persistent address list.

       my $addrlist = $factory->new_checker();
           Create a new address-list checker object from the factory. Called
           by the SpamAssassin classes.

       $entry = $addrlist->get_addr_entry ($addr);
           Given an email address $addr, return an entry object with the
           details of that address.

           The entry object is a reference to a hash, which must contain at
           least two keys: "count", which is the count of times that address
           has been encountered before; and "totscore", which is the total of
           all scores for messages associated with that address.  From these
           two fields, an average score will be calculated, and the score for
           the current message will be regressed towards that mean message
           score.

           The hash can contain whatever other data your back-end needs to
           store, under other keys.

           The method should never return "undef", or a hash that does not
           contain a "count" key and a "totscore" key.

       $entry = $addrlist->add_score($entry, $score);
           This method should add the given score to the whitelist database
           for the given entry, and then return the new entry.

       $entry = $addrlist->remove_entry ($entry);
           This method should remove the given entry from the whitelist
           database.

       $entry = $addrlist->finish ();
           Clean up, if necessary.  Called by SpamAssassin when it has
           finished checking, or adding to, the auto-whitelist database.
