I do something similar with with collection of test messages, mostly
received spam, that I use to test my local SA rule set.
Essentially, all I do is:
1) remove all headers starting with 'X-Spam', otherwise the X-Spam
headers injected when the piece if spam was received will still be
there after I've run the test. This is confusing rather than harmful,
but the cleaner is just a script using awk. See below.
2) pass the message through spamd by running:
spamc --max-size=2000000 <testmag.txt | less
and examine the result
Here's the cleaner script.
My spam corpus lives in the 'data' directory in my spam test user:
============================== cleaner ==============================
#!/bin/bash
#
#help
#Syntax: cleaner [file...]
#Function: Remove SA headers from example message(s)
# If a list of files is present they are processed.
# If no list is supplied, all files in data/* are processed.
#Options: none
#end
#
if [ "$1" == '-?' ]
then
script_help cleaner
exit
fi
function clean()
{
echo "Cleaning $1"
gawk '
BEGIN { act = "copy";
body = "no";
}
/^[A-Za-z]/ { act = "copy" }
/^X-Spam/ { act = "skip" }
/^$/ { body = "yes"; }
{
if (act == "copy" || body == "yes")
{ print }
}
' <$1 >temp.txt
mv temp.txt $1
}
if [ $# -gt 0 ]
then
for f in $*
do
clean $f
done
else
for f in data/*.txt
do
clean $f
done
fi
========================== end of cleaner ===========================
