Create a simple test mail message that contains a URL fabricated using any one of the hosts listed in BigEvil.cf. Feed the test message to "spamc -R" and look to see if the output report hits a BigEvil rule. For example, I created a test message called 'test.txt' containing: From: bill To: bob http://bigmoneymarketing.com Now I feed it to spamc: spamc -R < test.txt 5.6/6.0 Checker-Version SpamAssassin 2.60 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on server15.icaen.uiowa.edu Content analysis details: (5.6 points, 6.0 required, autolearn=no) pts rule name description ---- ---------------------- ------------------------------------------ 1.9 DATE_MISSING Missing Date: header 0.6 TO_MALFORMED To: has a malformed address 3.0 BigEvilList_37 URI: Generated BigEvilList_37 Note that hit on "BigEvilList_37" To see how a given rule hits, feed it to spamassassin with rule debugging turned on. spamassassin -D rulesrun=255 < test.txt Dave -- Dave Funk University of Iowa <dbfunk (at) engineering.uiowa.edu> College of Engineering 319/335-5751 FAX: 319/384-0549 1256 Seamans Center Sys_admin/Postmaster/cell_admin Iowa City, IA 52242-1527 #include <std_disclaimer.h> Better is not better, 'standard' is better.
