New to SA and unix. I am using SA 2.6 with Guinevere and GW 6. It is
helping a lot. I have spent about 3 hours looking through the archives
of this list and have not found the answer yet....a couple questions:

1. if using the spamassassin --lint at the command prompt and it just
goes back to the dos prompt after a moment does that mean that SA is
running without any errors?

2. Where/how do I add a subject line test to get it to work. For
example if I wanted to block all emails with xanax in the subject line I
am guessing the rule would be


header SUBJ_XANAX      Subject =~ /xanax/i
describe SUBJ_XANAX    Subject contains xanax
score SUBJ_XANAX         5


1) spamassassin --lint should only give output IF there is some kind of configuration or rule problem.


2) Yes that is exactly how to write some basic rules. there's some great references available on the web about writing your own rules
these are a couple that come right to mind infact I beleive the authors of these site subscribe to this list:
