Issue:
How do I test if my anti-spam configuration works fine?
Resolution:

Solution:
There is a special feature supported by Spamassassin named the GTUBE (Global Test for Unsolicited Bulk Email).

It consists of a rule which recognizes the 68-bytes string which is sent in the email's body. If the email goes through spamassassin, it will be detected as spam.

To test, send an email to a specific address, which has antispam rules configured. Enclose this 68-byte string:

XJS*C4JDBQADN1.NSBN3*2IDNEN*GTUBE-STANDARD-ANTI-UBE-TEST-EMAIL*C.34X

This test is similar to the EICAR anti-virus test file for antivirus softwares.
