Which plugins are running?

[ya...@bgilmer.com]

Hello list,

First, thanks to the gurus who have worked so hard on SA.  I feel 
like I have gained a new life now that the spam has slowed to a 
trickle.  I have read a lot of the documentation on the wiki site, 
but am still not sure if I have my initial configuration 
optimized.  (Actually, I get the feeling lurking on the list for a 
bit that optimization is an ongoing project).  spamassassin --lint 
yields no output at all, so I guess I do not have any lint.  Per the 
wiki page, I am running spamd and spamc rather than running 
spamassassin.  I am running FreeBSD 6.1., and spamassassin -V yields 
SpamAssassin version 3.1.7 and running on Perl version 5.8.8.

Question - how do I tell if network plugins are working?

I am not seeing any mention in headers of Razor or Pyzor.  I have 
looked for logs for these apps, and have not found anything.  I am 
fortunate to have a machine around which I can play with, and I have 
wiped the disk and reconfigured SA four or five times as I learn new 
things.  At one point, I specifically ran razor-admin as each user, 
and this created files in the user directory which contained lists of 
razor servers.  But the last time I wiped the disk, I decided to just 
see what the standard FreeBSD port installation would do.  It appears 
to me from the output below, that razor, pizor, RelayCountry and 
other stuff is all up and working.  But am I missing something?  Do I 
have to use razor-admin for each user anyway?  I am using a sitewide 
configuration, so if I do have to use razor-admin, is there a way to 
do this site wide rather than for each user?

Here is the relevant parts of the output from spamassassin -D <sample-spam.txt

[8110] dbg: plugin: loading Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::RelayCountry from @INC

While I am at it, can someone help with this message from the 
spamassassin -D <sample-spam.txt output?
[8110] info: rules: meta test DIGEST_MULTIPLE has undefined 
dependency 'DCC_CHECK'

Thanks in advance for your help, and if this is all listed in a wiki 
page somewhere, feel free to flame away and then please point me to it.

You need to create a razor account if you want users to report/revoke mails.
Otherwise, no.

You can probably make a site "user" and point everyone's razor configs there,
etc.  But that's a) probably bad, b) a painful kluge, and c) more of a razor
issue (see the razor-users list).

Ok, all of these plugins got loaded.

fwiw, the SpamCop plugin is about reporting to SpamCop and not using their
DNSBL service.

It means you don't have the DCC plugin loaded, which is fine, if you're not
using DCC.  It's informational, not an error.
