NAME

DecodeShortURLs - deprecated, merged into Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Redirectors

SYNOPSIS

loadplugin    Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DecodeShortURLs

DESCRIPTION

This plugin is deprecated. All of its functionality (the url_shortener* settings and the short_url* eval rules) has been merged into Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Redirectors, which also gained the ability to follow a redirect chain that mixes shorteners and redirectors in either order, there is no functional difference between the two, both are just a host whose HTTP response redirects elsewhere.

This module remains only as a compatibility shim so that existing configuration files with loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DecodeShortURLs keep working unchanged. It loads Redirectors and inherits all of its behavior. New configurations should load Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Redirectors directly instead.

If caching is enabled, this shim keeps using the original short_url_cache table/columns from before the plugins were merged, so an existing cache is not silently abandoned. Switching loadplugin to Redirectors starts a fresh redir_url_cache table instead.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Original DecodeShortURLs plugin was developed by Steve Freegard.
