Which rules are used

[Claudia Burman <cb...@elbolson.com>]

Hi,
Is there a way to know if spamassassin is using all the rules?
I'm getting too much spam, including some which I think should be 
captured...

Thanks

Hi Claudia,

You should be able to run "spamassassin -D --lint" to see which rules  
and plugins are being loaded system wide.

Regards and good luck

Rob

Hi Claudia,

The easiest way to see what rules are hitting a particular message is to 
save the message (including _ALL_ headers) into a text file and then to 
pass it to SpamAssassin in test mode:

spamassassin --test-mode < email.txt

This will produce a report of the rules that are hitting the message.

If you want more information use the debug option:

spamassassin --debug --test-mode < email.txt

If you would like people here to let you know which rules these emails 
hit on their systems, place the email text file somewhere on the web, so 
that we can download it and run it through our systems.

PS make sure you are running the above commands as the same user that 
spamassassin usually runs as.
