Do you use spamd? And if so, did you restart it?
Then check the headers for matched rules.....

Just throw it something that you know matches one of the new rules, and
see if it turns up in the 'tests=' header, as above.

Hi,

yes I use spamd and (of course) I did restart it. For instance a mail with the 
subject "Vi/agra - do it for her" got the following headers:

X-Spam-Status: No, hits=4.2 required=5.0
        tests=HTML_60_70,HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_02,HTML_IMAGE_RATIO_02,
              HTML_MESSAGE,LOCAL_DRUGS_MALEDYSFUNCTION,
              LOCAL_DRUGS_MALEDYSFUNCTION_OBFU,MIME_HTML_ONLY
        version=2.55
 X-Spam-Level: ****
 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.55 (1.174.2.19-2003-05-19-exp)

Does this include my new rules? Is there something like a verbose log where I 
can see which rules SA actually uses?

Bye and thanks,
Werner.

I don't download custom rulesets. I mantain my own set of local rules.
