Hi. I started using hascash quite recently and as it happens I already have found one missing feature: passthrough mode. It is a mode of operation found in the Bogofilter software. A programme in this mode acts as a=C2=A0filter and inserts a header that holds information that can later = be used by an MDA (e.g. procmail). For example Bogofilter headers look like these: X-Bogosity: Unsure, tests=3Dbogofilter, spamicity=3D0.887269, version=3D= 1.1.5 X-Bogosity: Spam, tests=3Dbogofilter, spamicity=3D1.000000, version=3D1.= 1.5 X-Bogosity: Ham, tests=3Dbogofilter, spamicity=3D0.157896, version=3D1.2= .0 Hashcash could insert X-Hashcash-Info (e.g.) for every X-Hashcash found. The header might contain * actual number of bits "spent" * "double spend" test results * stamp's age (this is redundant but makes filtering with procmail easier) * all the information from the X-Hashcash except the rand and counter fields The difference between X-Hashcash and X-Hashcash-Info is that the latter can be truested by MDA during classification as it is first removed by hashcash and then created again. --=20 Best regards, =C5=81ukasz Stelmach
