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
Thanks for the lesson:
