'hardcore' words are not necessarily enough to determine that an item is
spam.
I suggest you start your testing with a real spam mail (and you can find
quite a lot of those in places like news.admin.net-abuse.sightings
), using
the SpamAssassin command line interface. Once you're happy that it
scores
mail properly, feed the body plus your custom headers to the command
line
interface. Bear in mind that a good chunk of the SA rules check
headers
for things like invalid timestamps, spam signs etc, so your
effectiveness
may be crippled.
Thanks..will do that. I agree that the message we are testing against
are very short but I think most of the user generated content on our
site will be short (feedback, comments etc). So I guess we will have to
write a lot more custom rules to achieve what we really want.
Or lower the spam threshold...
Or raise the scores of the rules that are hitting...
