Re: Mystery Girl and Abuse Reporting Format

Hi Justin

Thanks for your reply and the link - agree that should be able to do most of the heavy lifting

From reading around it looks like AOL sends the MTA back as:

User-Agent: AOL SComp

So we might be able to teach Mystery Girl to handle that, the problem remaining then is that AOL replies as the email address as 'redacted'

Redacted-Address: redacted

So again we would need to modify Dada/Mystery Girl to spin through each attachment it finds, and look for it's own unsubscribe link in the body to parse.

I'll investigate and update how I get on...

Alex

There's already a module for Perl called Email::Arf -

That'll probably do most of the heavy work.
