Rules meaning and example?
HI,
Where can I find SpamAssassin rules' meaning and examples?
Some rules are easy to understand from its name, while others are not
easy to figure out what's the rule stands for. If there are some
examples for a specific rule, that would be great.
Thank you.

You can look at the default rule files, they have descriptions for each rule.
Other than that, it's not really clear what you're looking for.

That's the config manual, which didn't explain much about rules' meaning.
Any ideas?

Did you look at
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/WritingRules
yet?
Many SA rules are based on perl regular expressions. Here's some sites you
might want to check out for information on regular expressions:
http://www.english.uga.edu/humcomp/perl/regex2a.html
http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6/pod/perlre.html
http://www.troubleshooters.com/codecorn/littperl/perlreg.htm

Hope this helps,
wolfgang

Check out the describe line that goes with the particular rule. (if you use the
long-form in-body report these will be included in the report)
The rules also have their description on the webite, however the version on the
website might differ slightly from yours in terms of what rules are present and
what scores are assigned. (ie: the 3.0.x section seems to be based on 3.0.3,
which has some minor differences from 3.0.2)
