A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : A MIME Encoding for Spam Inoculation Messages
Author(s) : B. Yerazunis
Filename : draft-spamfilt-inoculation-01.txt
Pages : 13
Date : 2003-12-1
This document describes in detail a method for encapsulating an
email message or text sample for the purpose of training (or
'inoculating') a mail filter. The sample messages or text (the
'payload') provide the contextual information necessary for the
filter to reject ('spam') or accept ('non-spam') the message being
inoculated, or messages similar in design.
RFC 1521 defines the MIME format. This document expands on this by
adding an 'inoculation' MIME subtype, and also adds additional
header fields necessary to the functionality being provided.
This message format is designed to enable different mail filters of
different design to communicate inoculations with one another using
the MIME subtype introduced.

"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
"get draft-spamfilt-inoculation-01.txt".

Send a message to:

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-spamfilt-inoculation-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
