SYMBOLS parser is too strict

[tripleee]

I am trying to use this library against a server which supports the protocol, but returns a verdict with rather different formatting from the regular spamd. The response I need is basically JSON-like, with a number of comma-separated fields, some of them with nesting brackets etc.

The SYMBOLS parser in SpamC simply returns two of the field names, so I obtain about 16 bytes out of their context from the response which is about 250 bytes.

vnix$ spamc -p 1234 -l -y <testmessage | wc
      1      25     223

vnix$ python spamc.py testmessage
{'code': 0, 'basescore': 5.0, 'symbols': ['bw', 'rslt'], 'headers': {}, 'score': 0.0, 'report': [], 'message': 'EX_OK', 'isspam': False}

Here, the bw and rslt fragments are picked pretty much at random out of a longer string. There are many comma-separated and colon-terminated fields which are not picked up for some reason; in any event, I would like to be able to get the full raw verdict string so I can attempt to parse it myself.
