[Spamassassin Wiki] Update of "DebugChannels" by TheoVanDinter

[Apache Wiki <wi...@apache.org>]

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Spamassassin Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by TheoVanDinter:
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/DebugChannels

New page:
= Debug Channels =

The various SpamAssassin scripts have a debug option (-D) which can optionally take a list of channels which will restrict what information is displayed.  People have asked which channels are available.  However, the channels are dynamic based on the code that is running.  When looking at the debug output, the first word (pre-colon) is the logging level (dbg, info, warn, error,) and the second word (pre-colon) is the channel.  ie:

{{{
[20784] dbg: message: main message type: text/plain
[20784] dbg: bayes: DB journal sync: last sync: 1148309062
[20784] dbg: check: is spam? score=-0.156 required=5
[20784] dbg: check: tests=BAYES_00,MISSING_SUBJECT,NO_RECEIVED,NO_RELAYS,TO_CC_NONE
}}}

has the channels ''message'', ''bayes'', and ''check''.  While the channels are dynamic in nature, below is the standard ones that are in use (this is not a complete list).
