How can i get Real Spam patterns to test Spamasssin signatures?
Hi all,
I use a propriety router that in turn uses Spamassisn for
detection of SPAM mails.
I only have the option of testing with "GTUBE" Spam pattern.
Can any one suggest me if i can get host of Real spam patterns so that i
can test the detection capability(efficiency) of
Spamasssin in turn my router?
Thanks

The best way to get spam samples in this case is to capture them from
your production environment. That way you get samples of the type of
spam that comes to your server and they will also have the headers from
your servers so you can test your trusted_networks and internal_networks
settings as well.

My router is still in test environment that is yet to be deployed.
My exact requirement is i need host of spam patterns like GTUBE prior to
exposing my
router in production environment

Don't you already have a steady flow of real spam? If not, why do you
need SpamAssassin? :)
Test the install with GTUBE and a few normal emails to make sure it is
working normally. Then put it into production and see what it does.
You may want to set it to flag the headers only until you are sure it's
not going to cause any problems (although that's not likely with just
the stock rules).
