howto know if spamassasin is working

[viaris]

Hi All

I was to check the configuration file for spamassasin, the file local.cf have all lines commented.

How can I to know if spamassassin is working ??

the file es:

# Save spam messages as a message/rfc822 MIME attachment instead of
# modifying the original message (0: off, 2: use text/plain instead)
#
# report_safe 1


# Set which networks or hosts are considered 'trusted' by your mail
# server (i.e. not spammers)
#
# trusted_networks 212.17.35.


# Set file-locking method (flock is not safe over NFS, but is faster)
#
# lock_method flock


# Set the threshold at which a message is considered spam (default: 5.0)
#
# required_score 5.0


# Use Bayesian classifier (default: 1)
#
# use_bayes 1


# Bayesian classifier auto-learning (default: 1)
#
# bayes_auto_learn 1


# Set headers which may provide inappropriate cues to the Bayesian
# classifier
#
# bayes_ignore_header X-Bogosity
# bayes_ignore_header X-Spam-Flag
# bayes_ignore_header X-Spam-Status

Regards.

You'll see headers in an email telling you if it's been checked, you'll also get email in the Junk folder. Those commented out lines just mean that the spamassassin defaults are used.

Here is a example from a spam I received today

X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-new at xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx
X-Spam-Flag: YES
X-Spam-Score: 7.283
X-Spam-Level: *******
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=7.283 tagged_above=-10 required=6.6
	tests=[AV:Sanesecurity.Spam.10544.UNOFFICIAL=0,
	AV:Sanesecurity.Spam.10544.UNOFFICIAL=0,  AV_SS=4, BAYES_50=0.001,
	RCVD_IN_JMF_BL=1.5, RCVD_IN_PBL=0.905, RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL=0.877]

Means spamassassin is working fine.

By the way the config file is /opt/zimbra/conf/salocal.cf and not local.cf

[uxbod]

Correct, and for changes to be persistent across restarts you should also update /opt/zimbra/conf/salocal.cf.in
