# ReportSpam
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ReportSpam is a command-line tool that enables users to report spam emails to
|
||||||
|
the SignalSpam platform. This tool serves as a bridge between individual users
|
||||||
|
and the SignalSpam service, facilitating the process of submitting spam for
|
||||||
|
investigation and action.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Introduction
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ReportSpam is a community-driven project developed independently from
|
||||||
|
SignalSpam. It offers a convenient way for users to report spam emails directly
|
||||||
|
from any email-piping capable mail client by leveraging the HTML forms on
|
||||||
|
SignalSpam's web platform. The project is currently in beta but is mature
|
||||||
|
enough for daily use.
|
||||||
|

||||||
