Re: Which rules are used

Hi Claudia,

The easiest way to see what rules are hitting a particular message is to save the message (including _ALL_ headers) into a text file and then to pass it to SpamAssassin in test mode:

spamassassin --test-mode < email.txt

This will produce a report of the rules that are hitting the message.

If you want more information use the debug option:

spamassassin --debug --test-mode < email.txt

If you would like people here to let you know which rules these emails hit on their systems, place the email text file somewhere on the web, so that we can download it and run it through our systems.

PS make sure you are running the above commands as the same user that spamassassin usually runs as.

Do you need help?
