Well met,
 
Just activated SpamAssassin on my website (by my web hosting provider) and wanted to do some simple tests which I read from the Wiki site and FAQ. When it didn't run I opened a ticket with my provider and he said he didn't support it and I needed to find help else where. So here I am. Right now, I'm just trying some simple tests to get my Aliases/Forwarders (which get sent through my site) and forwarded onto my ISP providers email account.
 
i.e. a public email [EMAIL PROTECTED] would get forwarded onto my local isp provider at verizon, or comcast depending on who I have for a particular month, so that way I don't have to change my email every month.
 
So for my test, I set up the following basic local rules in ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs file.
 
I assume this would take any email with the word spam in the BODY or test in SUBJECT and rewrite the SUBJECT with the new HEADER. But for some reason it does not appear to be working.

body LOCAL_DEMONSTRATION_RULE   /spam/
score LOCAL_DEMONSTRATION_RULE 6.0
describe LOCAL_DEMONSTRATION_RULE       This is a simple test rule
header LOCAL_DEMONSTRATION_SUBJECT      Subject =~ /\btest\b/i
score LOCAL_DEMONSTRATION_SUBJECT       2
required_score  5
rewrite_header subject * Rated SPAM: Junk This! *
 
 
Does it not work for Aliases/Forwarders? Do you have to have a special Client? I am using BAT by RitLABs, and/or Webbrowser.
 
Thanks!
