new / tests to verify

Sorry for the newbie question here, but are there any test messages we can use to verify our spamassassin installation is working correctly?  I installed the most current stable version just today on a RedHat 5 box and updated it, but would like to test it to verify it is working correctly. Is this possible?

you can download a sample msg from

usage, for example:

spamassassin < gtube.txt
spamc < gtube.txt

A good place to start is GTUBE.  Like EICAR is to Anti-Viral scanning, 
GTUBE is to Anti-Spam Scanning

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTUBE

However, I normally tail my maillog as well as look at the headers of 
emails to look for evidence of spam scanning at those points.
