Will spam-assassin check the mail content?

[aquero <ar...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
    I have installed spam assassin in my server and its working perfectly. I
have included the following parameters in the local.cf file

rewrite_header Subject [***** SPAM _SCORE_ *****]
required_score           2.0
#to be able to use _SCORE_ we need report_safe set to 0
#If this option is set to 0, incoming spam is only modified by adding some
"X-Spam-" headers and no changes will be made to the body.

report_safe     0

# Enable the Bayes system
use_bayes               1
use_bayes_rules         1
# Enable Bayes auto-learning
bayes_auto_learn        1

# Enable or disable network checks
skip_rbl_checks         0

use_razor2              0
use_dcc                 0
use_pyzor               0

add_header all Report _REPORT_ 

Besides this all the configurations are in there default values. I checked
spam-assassin by sending some mails to the server and when i sent a spam
mail from my gmail account , it had a score above 10. But when i checked the
spam report it had only rule violation from mail header. I want to know
whether spam-assassin will check the mail content also for finding spam
score , in its default settings. If not what changes should I make in the
configurations for,  the spam-assassin to include the mail content , for its
spam check. Please reply

Yes, mail content will be checked, that is bread and butter for SA.

You have disabled razor/pyzor/dcc, I suggest you install at least Razor2
for better results.

I use PGP. If there is an incompatibility problem with your mail
client, please contact me.

It may or may not be worthwhile, but it still has to be done.
