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

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.

Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-yerazunis-spamfilt-inoculation-03.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.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
