.SH "NAME"
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::ASN \- SpamAssassin plugin to look up the
Autonomous System Number (ASN) of the connecting IP address.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::ASN
\&
\& asn_lookup asn.routeviews.org _ASN_ _ASNCIDR_
\&
\& add_header all ASN _ASN_ _ASNCIDR_
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This plugin uses \s-1DNS\s0 lookups to the services of an external \s-1DNS\s0 zone such
as at \f(CW\*(C`http://www.routeviews.org/\*(C'\fR to do the actual work. Please make
sure that your use of the plugin does not overload their infrastructure \-
this generally means that \fByou should not use this plugin in a
high-volume environment\fR or that you should use a local mirror of the
zone (see \f(CW\*(C`ftp://ftp.routeviews.org/dnszones/\*(C'\fR).  Other similar zones
may also be used.
.SH "TEMPLATE TAGS"
.IX Header "TEMPLATE TAGS"
This plugin allows you to create template tags containing the connecting
\&\s-1IP\s0's \s-1AS\s0 number and route info for that \s-1AS\s0 number.
.PP
The default config will add a header field that looks like this:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& X\-Spam\-ASN: AS24940 213.239.192.0/18
.Ve
.PP
where \*(L"24940\*(R" is the \s-1ASN\s0 and \*(L"213.239.192.0/18\*(R" is the route
announced by that \s-1ASN\s0 where the connecting \s-1IP\s0 address came from.
If the \s-1AS\s0 announces multiple networks (more/less specific), they will
all be added to the \f(CW\*(C`_ASNCIDR_\*(C'\fR tag, separated by spaces, eg:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& X\-Spam\-ASN: AS1680 89.138.0.0/15 89.139.0.0/16
.Ve
.PP
Note that the literal \*(L"\s-1AS\*(R"\s0 before the \s-1ASN\s0 in the _ASN_ tag is configurable
through the \fIasn_prefix\fR directive and may be set to an empty string.
.SH "CONFIGURATION"
.IX Header "CONFIGURATION"
The standard ruleset contains a configuration that will add a header field
containing \s-1ASN\s0 data to scanned messages.  The bayes tokenizer will use the
added header field for bayes calculations, and thus affect which BAYES_* rule
will trigger for a particular message.
.PP
\&\fBNote\fR that in most cases you should not score on the \s-1ASN\s0 data directly.
Bayes learning will probably trigger on the _ASNCIDR_ tag, but probably not
very well on the _ASN_ tag alone.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"

.SH "STATUS"
.IX Header "STATUS"
No in-depth analysis of the usefulness of bayes tokenization of \s-1ASN\s0 data has
been performed.

.IP "asn_lookup asn\-zone.example.com [ _ASNTAG_ _ASNCIDRTAG_ ]" 4
.IX Item "asn_lookup asn-zone.example.com [ _ASNTAG_ _ASNCIDRTAG_ ]"
Use this to lookup the \s-1ASN\s0 info in the specified zone for the first external
\&\s-1IP\s0 address and add the \s-1AS\s0 number to the first specified tag and routing info
to the second specified tag.
.Sp
If no tags are specified the \s-1AS\s0 number will be added to the _ASN_ tag and the
routing info will be added to the _ASNCIDR_ tag.  You must specify either none
or both of the tag names.  Tag names must start and end with an underscore.
.Sp
If two or more \fIasn_lookup\fRs use the same set of template tags, the results of
their lookups will be appended to each other in the template tag values in no
particular order.  Duplicate results will be omitted when combining results.
In a similar fashion, you can also use the same template tag for both the \s-1AS\s0
number tag and the routing info tag.
.Sp

.PP
Removes any previously declared \fIasn_lookup\fR entries from a list of queries.
.IP "asn_prefix 'prefix_string'       (default: '\s-1AS\s0')" 4
.IX Item "asn_prefix 'prefix_string' (default: 'AS')"
The string specified in the argument is prepended to each \s-1ASN\s0 when storing
it as a tag. This prefix is rather redundant, but its default value '\s-1AS\s0'
is kept for backward compatibility with versions of SpamAssassin earlier
than 3.4.0. A sensible setting is an empty string. The argument may be (but
need not be) enclosed in single or double quotes for clarity.
