does spam check works

[pgh001]

Hi,

How can I check is spam software is working?
Because since a few days i'll get things like:

"Registreer bij King Spin Club en geniet van een eersteklas behandeling

Regards, Patrick.

Are there any errors in your mail log (in the /var/log/ directory)?

[pgh001]

There are no errors.

But how do I know if spamassin is working?

[falko]

Does

/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin --lint

return any errors?

Also, can you try to update your SpamAssassin rules by running

/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/sa-update --no-gpg

?

I did a sa-update and when running:

/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin --lint

I get:

Subroutine IO::Socket::INET6::AF_INET6 redefined at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Exporter.pm line 65.
at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IO/Socket/INET6.pm line 16
Subroutine Net:NS::Resolver::Base::AF_INET6 redefined at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Exporter.pm line 65.
at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Net/DNS/Resolver/Base.pm line 66


But is there a way to test this?
Can I send a fake spam message?

You can check if your spam assassin working if in incoming messages header is 'x-spam' section with no error, if is not there you spamassasin dont work. Easy can be checked.

what if the two commands given above by falko don't return anything and I can't see any x-spam headers?

I've got the same problem since I upgraded to the latest 2.2.40.
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin --lint
return nothing

/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/sa-update --no-gpg
seem to run successfully (no error messages).

I found no error messages in /var/log/mail related to spamassassin.

Anyone have any clue what might go wrong?

This is a good thing, it means there are no errors with your SpamAssassin configuration.
