Full SpamAssassin breakdown of NON-spam messages?

[Jeremy Morton <ad...@game-point.net>]

OK, so SA gives you a breakdown in the msg body of why it thought 
messages tagged as spam were spam.  But what about false negatives? 
It'd be really useful if SA could give me a full breakdown of its 
analysis in the e-mail's header, some kind of 'debug mode', so I could 
tell why it thought a message was not spam.  For example, a recent spam 
message got through and this was in the header:

X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.3


I want way more detail than that.  Is there a way to get SA to put a 
full analysis in the header, including rules matched and their scores?

Best regards,

It would be called X-Spam-Report in the event that matters.

Some programs used to call SpamAssassin for the incoming mail will
ignore a few configuration options (including add_header) in an
attempt at efficiency.  (They can do this because they implement their
own daemon rather than running SpamAssassin's spamc/spamd.)

Exim's philosophy seems to be "Exin knows best" and you, the  
mailadmin, are the Beaver. Or maybe it's cPanel, though they do seem  
to go hand-in-hand often.

Never mind.  Looks like cPanel have their own retarded exim code for 
deciding what gets put in the headers and ignore the SA config files. 
I'll have to modify exim.conf instead.

That's not working.  I'm simply not getting a 'Report' header.  :-(

Add this line to your local.cf or user_prefs file:

add_header all Report _REPORT_
