=item $obj-E<gt>B<fighter>( $name, [$settings] )

=item Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup-E<gt>B<fighter>( $name, [$settings] )

Get the $settings of a certain spam-fighter, optionally after setting them.
The L<knownFighters()> method returns the defined names.  The names
are case-sensitive.

 -Option --Default
  fields   <required>
  isspam   <required>
  version  undef

=over 2

=item fields => REGEXP

The regular expression which indicates which of the header fields are
added by the spam fighter software.

=item isspam => CODE

The CODE must return true or false, to indicate whether the spam fighter
thinks that the message contains spam.  The CODE ref is called with
the spamgroup object (under construction) and the header which is inspected.

=item version => CODE

Can be called to collect the official name and the version of the
software which is used to detect spam.  The CODE ref is called with
the spamgroup object (under construction) and the header which is inspected.

example: adding your own spam-fighter definitions

 Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup->fighter( 'MY-OWN',
    fields => qw/^x-MY-SPAM-DETECTOR-/,
    isspam => sub { my ($sg, $head) = @_; $head->fields > 100 }
   );

=item $obj-E<gt>B<from>($head|$message, %options)

Returns a list of C<Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup> objects, based on the
specified $message or message $head.

 -Option--Default
  types   undef

=over 2

=item types => ARRAY-OF-NAMES

Only the specified types will be tried.  If the ARRAY is empty, an empty
list is returned.  Without this option, all sets are returned.

=back

=item $obj-E<gt>B<habeasSweFieldsCorrect>( [$message|$head] )

=item Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup-E<gt>B<habeasSweFieldsCorrect>( [$message|$head] )

Returns a true value if the $message or $head contains C<Habeas-SWE> fields
which are correct.  Without argument, this is used as instance method on
an existing Spam-Group.

example: checking Habeas-SWE fields

 if(Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup->habeasSweFieldsCorrect($message))
 {   $message->label(spam => 0);
 }

 my $sg = $message->head->spamGroups('Habeas-SWE');
 if($sg->habeasSweFieldsCorrect) { ... };

 use List::Util 'first';
 if(first {$_->habeasSweFieldsCorrect} $head->spamGroups)
 {   ...
 }

=head1 DETAILS

=head2 Spam fighting fields

=head3 Detected spam fighting software

The L<Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup|Mail::Message::Head::SpamGroup> class can be used to detect
fields which were produced by different spam fighting software.

=over 4

=item * SpamAssassin

These fields are added by L<Mail::SpamAssassin>, which is the central
implementation of the spam-assassin package.  The homepage of this
GPL'ed project can be found at L<http://spamassassin.org>.

=item * Habeas-SWE

Habeas tries to fight spam via the standard copyright protection
mechanism: Sender Warranted E-mail (SWE). Only when you have a contract
with Habeas, you are permitted to add a few copyrighted lines to your
e-mail. Spam senders will be refused a contract.  Mail clients which
see these nine lines are (quite) sure that the message is sincere.

See L<http://www.habeas.com> for all the details on this commercial
product.

=item * MailScanner

The MailScanner filter is developed and maintained by
transtec Computers.  The software is available for free download from
L<http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/>.  Commercial support
is provided via L<http://www.mailscanner.biz>.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

=over 4

=item Error: Package $package does not implement $method.

Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not
implement this method where it should. This message means that some other
related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does
not.  Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author
of the package.
