There are a couple of ways to do this. First off, SpamAssassin will not block anything by itself, so one way is to set it up in your mail server so that it scans all of the incoming email. Each email will have a header added showing the SA score. Emails determined to be spam will have a more detailed report in the header. Unless you configure your mailserver to check the scores, the mail will still be delivered normally. This is the most accurate way to do it. If you want a more manual way, you can check each email with a command. First, you need to get the email in a text file. If your mailserver uses the maildir storage format, then you can just pull the messages from there. Otherwise, you will need to save the messages in some manner that preserves all of the message headers. If the headers are changed in any way, the scoring may be affected. Once you have the message, you can test it like this: spamassassin -t < messagefile.txt This will output the original message plus a report at the bottom. It will *always* claim the message is spam, so ignore that and just look at the scores. NOTE: The above command line is in linux format. The windows command may be slightly different. -- Bowie
