amavis and spamassassin logs analysis

[iztech]

i have installed amavisd with sa but it seems like it is not using the .cf in etc/mail/spamassassin

furthermore with the same sa set up and running anomy i was getting better results.

so i would like to analyze the amavis logs and send some spam for testing. i ran accross this in the wiki pages for sa.

can anyone shed some light on this. is there a link that shows an amavis log and what the bloody thing means.

how about an sa log?

Send yourself GTUBE, the Generic Test for Unsoliticed Bulk Email:

Due to a bug in some versions of SpamAssassin, don’t send it using your own account if you are using the Auto-Whitelist. Send it using a throwaway account or just delete the auto-whitelist file after sending the test.

If SpamAssassin is working, the message will be marked as spam. Note that SpamAssassin only marks messages as spam and that how it does this marking may be affected by your front-end. If you’re not using the “spamc” or “spamassassin” program and are using a third-party front-end (especially amavisd), then it may not be completely obvious how spam messages are handled.
