Build

1. Extract the scam-archiver tarball
2. Change the current directory to the one where the scam-archiver source code was extracted.
3. If you are using FreeBSD, OpenBSD or NetBSD, rename the Makefile.bsd file to Makefile

Using Scam-archiver

Startup

1. Start scam-archiver milter as a daemon scam-archiver -p unix:/var/spool/scam/scam-archiver.sock -u scamarchiver -D
4. Restart sendmail if you have generated a new sendmail configuration when installing scam-archiver

Shutdown

Type the following command to stop scam-archiver kill -USR1 `cat /var/spool/scam/scam-archiver.pid`

Configuration

The configuration file used is /etc/mail/scam.conf.

The following entry defines the email address where all mail is archived.

AchiverAddr=scam@example.com

Archive::Zip is a Perl module which provides an interface to ZIP archive files.

SYNOPSIS

# Create a Zip file
use Archive::Zip qw( :ERROR_CODES :CONSTANTS );
my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();

# Add a directory
my $dir_member = $zip->addDirectory( dirname/ );

# Add a file from a string with compression
my $string_member = $zip->addString( This is a test, stringMember.txt );
$string_member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_DEFLATED );

# Add a file from disk
my $file_member = $zip->addFile( xyz.pl, AnotherName.pl );

# Save the Zip file
unless ( $zip->writeToFileNamed(someZip.zip) == AZ_OK ) {
die write error;
}

# Read a Zip file
my $somezip = Archive::Zip->new();
unless ( $somezip->read( someZip.zip ) == AZ_OK ) {
die read error;
}

# Change the compression type for a file in the Zip
my $member = $somezip->memberNamed( stringMember.txt );
$member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_STORED );
unless ( $zip->writeToFileNamed( someOtherZip.zip ) == AZ_OK ) {
die write error;
}

The Archive::Zip module allows a Perl program to create, manipulate, read, and write Zip archive files.

Zip archives can be created, or you can read from existing zip files.
Once created, they can be written to files, streams, or strings. Members can be added, removed, extracted, replaced, rearranged, and enumerated. They can also be renamed or have their dates, comments, or other attributes queried or modified. Their data can be compressed or uncompressed as needed.
Members can be created from members in existing Zip files, or from existing directories, files, or strings.

This module uses the Compress::Zlib library to read and write the compressed streams inside the files.

Archive::SelfExtract is a Perl module to bundle compressed archives with Perl code.

SYNOPSIS

use Archive::SelfExtract;

# writes output script to STDOUT
Archive::SelfExtract::createExtractor( "perlcode.pl", "somefiles.zip" );

# with various options:
Archive::SelfExtract::createExtractor( "perlcode.pl", "somefiles.zip",
perlbin => "/opt/perl58/bin/perl",
output_fh => $someFileHandle,
);
See also the command line tool, mkselfextract.

Archive::SelfExtract allows you create Perl programs out of compressed zip archives. Given a piece of code and an archive, it creates a single file which, when run, unpacks the archive and then runs the code.

This module provides a function for creating a self-extractor script, a function to unpack the archive, and utility functions for wrapped programs

Archive::Any::Create is an abstract API to create archives (tar.gz and zip).

SYNOPSIS

use Archive::Any::Create;

my $archive = Archive::Any::Create->new;

$archive->container(foo); # top-level directory
$archive->add_file(bar.txt, $data); # foo/bar.txt
$archive->add_file(bar/baz.txt, $data); # foo/bar/baz.txt

$archive->write_file(foo.tar.gz);
$archive->write_file(foo.zip);

$archive->write_filehandle(*STDOUT, tar.gz);

Archive::Any::Create is a wrapper module to create tar/tar.gz/zip files with a single easy-to-use API.

J7Zip handles 7-zip archives. It can lists the contents of the archive, test the archive files, and extract files from the archive to their full paths in the current directory.

This version supports only unencrypted archives, and archives with the Copy or LZMA codec.

J7Zip can list, test and extract files from an 7z archives.

J7Zip is written in JAVA 5.

This version can :

- Lists contents of archive
- Tests archive files
- Extracts files from archive to their full paths in the current directory

This version supports only :

- non-encrypted archives
- archives with Copy or LZMA codec.

J7zip provides also the JAVA LZMA SDK.

LZMA is default and general compression method of 7z format in 7-Zip compression program (www.7-zip.org). LZMA provides high compression ratio and very fast decompression.

LZMA is an improved version of famous LZ77 compression algorithm. It was improved in way of maximum increasing of compression ratio, keeping high decompression speed and low memory requirements for decompressing.

PeaZip project is an archiver tool that supports its native Pea archive format (featuring compression, split volumes, and flexible encryption and integrity check schemes) and other mainstream formats, with special focus on handling open formats.
Full support: 7Z, 7-Zip sfx, Bzip2, Gzip, PEA, split TAR and ZIP.
Browse/test/extract-only support for ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, DEB, ISO, LZH, NSIS installers, OOo files, RAR, RPM, Z.
PeaZips UI aims giving aid to the user to: edit, save and restore layout of archives (input files and folders list) to speed up definition of archiving and backup operations; save job definition, as plain text, to be used in scripts or for learning purpose; have a detailed job log after each operation.
The interface is fully skinnable (skins can be customised and saved as plain text to be re-edited as freely as possible) and uses customisable transparency.
The program doesnt need to be installed/unistalled, it can run from any path (even remote; a writeable path is recommended), however Windows version is released both as a standalone binary and as a fully automated installer/uninstaller package, allowing tight system integration to use PeaZip right from Explorer.
PeaZip acts as a graphic frontend for Pea executable (graphical) from the same Author and for Igor Pavlovs 7z executable (Myspaces 7z POSIX port under Linux), that can run in console mode or through a graphical wrapper to allow more user-friendly handling of output information.
Enhancements:
- Release 1.9 introduces several updates, new functions and interface enhancements over 1.8 series, based on feedback collected on previous 1.8 release series, featuring a substantially renewed user interface driven to a cleaner design and better usability. The layout composer and the archive browser were improved, introducing multiple selection, AZ/ZA sorting, better designed popup menus, options organized in a tabs, archive browsing navigation bar, recent archives history and many other under the hood usability improvements; see change log for a detailed description.
