We have tested this on http://cause.greynium.com/spamtest.php
We have constructed a Mail header, concatenating $message to $header and
passing the contents of $header to the code given above.
We have installed the script from rulesemporium to update the cf files.
What could we be missing?

I ran your first sample through SA here and got the following score :-
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=6.5 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_50,FRT_PENIS1,
HTML_MESSAGE,HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG,MIME_HTML_ONLY,MISSING_DATE,MISSING_HB_SEP,

To ensure all is working okay, why not take a existing SPAM message and construct the $message from that and test ?

Common sense?

Why should hardcore words be marked as spam? SpamAssassin is designed for
"complex cases" like spam emails. There would be lot of messages dropped if
the only rule would be hardcore words.
You are much better off coding your own stuff in PHP, like:
if ( preg_match("/\b(word1|word2)\b/", $message) ) die("Spam");
Ofcourse you can write your own SpamAssassin rules, if you still insist
on using SA.
Cheers,
Henrik

'hardcore' words are not necessarily enough to determine that an item is
spam.
I suggest you start your testing with a real spam mail (and you can find
quite a lot of those in places like news.admin.net-abuse.sightings), using
the SpamAssassin command line interface. Once you're happy that it scores
mail properly, feed the body plus your custom headers to the command line
interface. Bear in mind that a good chunk of the SA rules check headers
for things like invalid timestamps, spam signs etc, so your effectiveness
may be crippled.

The content should be reported as Spam. The score (when I run from command
line is just about 1.0 and required is 5.0). The text in $message have very
hardcore words. Shouldn't it be marked as spam?
Are we formating the header correctly (i.e. each line is ending with \n)?

Are you saying something isn't working?
