'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.
