Maybe this is overstating the excruciatingly obvious, but why don't you just compose the email you anticipate sending, and SEND IT to yourself so that it comes into your email box by way of your SpamAssassin with score report headers added, and take a peek at that result? Or if you're working with some mass-mail service, subscribe yourself to a "test list" and distribute your anticipated message via that and see how it looks when it arrives?

The simplest thing would probably be to put a standaed "fake" header on the
front of the web page to make it look like an email message when passed to
SA. You could do this as simply as concatenating a small text file with the
web page body into a temp file and then running spamassassin or spamc or
spamd on that temp file and observing the result.
You could accomplish much the same thing using the Perl interface, supplying
stock text for the mail header.

Using SpamAssassin, you pretty much don't.
SpamAssassin very fundamentally expects to be working on email. I don't
think you can get around that without a significant rewrite of the code.

Since SA is designed to scan email, check the message headers for the
email message you scanned.
SpamAssassin, as is, will not provide reasonable results when trying to
scan website content. It isn't designed for that purpose, and trying to
do so will generally result in rather strange behaviors.

Hi
In the SA rules, i've hide the header test names in all the .cf files and
restarted the spamassassin. But i believe, it displaying wrong result
(compared this with lyris content checker). Please guide me, how to check
the score for content checker using SA rules.

There's hundreds of rules for body content used in SA, and they change
all the time. Look for anything Anything that's a "body", "rawbody",
"uri" or "full" rule in the .cf files.

Hi
Thanks your reply. Already I went through the site , but we are using
Linux with Spamassasin. We need to check the newsletter's body content only
in SA. Please tell me the exact rules in SA for spamassassin body content.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. In my project I am going to send newsletters
to our clients. Here I need to validate my newsletter(content) using some
API(perl, php or python). Also I need to show the content's Spam score.

Best of luck. Looks like SG has asked about a dozen or so vague
questions, people have asked for clarification, and I have yet to see
a response.....

You're going to have to reword that question, and provide more details
(like, what are you trying to do) before anyone will be able to
provide a helpful answer.
